[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 345385, member: 12496"] I am not aware of any external accessories, but the AF Assist in the larger speedlights is rather impressive. Out to about 15 feet anyway. And it is sort of infrared (extremely dim red), so it will not distract the subject. There is one... The SC-29 hot shoe extension cord (to move a speedlight a few feet away from the hotshoe) has an AF Assist light in it. The idea is the external flash is loose, and probably not precisely aimed at the focus point, but this new SC-29 version in the hot shoe is. That trailing cord would be awkward, and I have no experience with it to know if it still works with no flash unit, but I'd guess it did. [/QUOTE]
