G'day Dario. I'm not sure that this will help, but I'll post it anyway (WARNING: 50 shots in this gallery):
http://tinyurl.com/do2yx These were all shot with the *ist D using the AF500 FTZ flash (except the last 10), 28-105 4.5-5.6 PZ (for about the first half), 31 & 77 Ltd's for the rest. Shooting distances between 1-5 metres with the flash angled at 75 degrees. In regards to recycling times. I was shooting & f8 for the first 14 & f5.6 for the rest of the flash shots & I didn't have to wait for the flash to recharge once. There's nothing special here, these are just a series of shots documenting a family get together. BTW this is my fave of the lot: http://tinyurl.com/8sj6b Dave S PS I'm in IMGP2368.
