[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 206033, member: 12496"] One flash is pretty easy to tweak in manually, no big deal at all (whereas multiple manual flashes really need to be metered, with respect to each other). With just a little experience, we pretty much know where to start with manual flash power (it ought to be pretty much same as last time in a similar situation). But, we do have to watch, and tweak it a little with another try. TTL is self metered, perhaps not always perfectly, but normally can be a closer starting point, and sometimes is right on first try. Again, we do have to watch, and maybe tweak it a little (using Flash Compensation to control TTL automation). So... speaking of one flash, the only real difference is the starting point, which always needs evaluation. We can choose to feel smug for using manual flash, or we can choose to do it the easy way. :) Either way, we watch, and we tweak when necessary. [/QUOTE]
