[QUOTE="F & F2 Man, post: 591331, member: 9463"] I understand what you are saying..... I use flashes of different powers and features. I really liked the small potato masher Sunpak MG-1... But, that took a dump... so I am trying to replace it. Hard to find on eBay in good shape.... I do have the camera cord though, many are sold without it. And I like my Konica X24 for my FS-1, but, it is a Konica FS-1, FT-1 only dedicated flash. It can used manually, but it has a low GN (24 in meters and 20 with the wide adapter) I have a more powerful flash... Sunpak A5000, but for a small family function, I shoot between 4'-10', don't need a large top heavy flash.... BTW, I used a 28mm lens, the Sunpak 411 is for a 35mm lens, which is why there is corner darkening... and is quite powerful... I used it on one it lowest auto settings so I COULD USE f/11 On the longest range setting at ISO 400, f/5.6 to 35'. GN for ISO 100 at 10' is 100, The GN for ISO 400 at 10' is 180 or so I don't want a flash that is below GN 85 (or 28 in meters) for ISO 100 at 10'. otherwise I can't use f/11 in the Dof range I want to use. Most smaller OLDER units are in that range, newer ones are in the GN 20-25 in meters range... too weak. The Olympus 32 may be the one..... it has a native 28mm coverage! and is low profile with bounce head. [/QUOTE]
