Every 4th of July I kick myself for not mastering fill flash with my M8s . The venues offer a once a year "free pass" for street shooters. Everybody "gets it" and you can shoot almost anyone and get a smile. But its so contrasty!
Backlighting with a little Fill Flash would go a long way to getting consistent exposures.
TTL at minus 1 1/3 is what I need but its only available with a leica or some metz flashes .........and I want something small like the new flash for the EP-1 .
I have a Sf-24 which works pretty well but is taller than I want(probably produces better results but for fill I don t need much). Everything else looks way too big. Some of the newer flash like the Canon 580II can be shot on flash "auto" ....so the flash is independent of the camera exposure . But I understand that the Nikon Sb-400 which looks great requires the TTL connection .
I might even be able to go totally manual but flash automatic would be better. Any working solutions out there?
