Flavio; Yesterday all this macro lighting talk got me thinking and I ended up buying a hot shoe grip for my AF28T (a good deal from KEH). That, combined with a sync cord A plugged into the LX should give me TTL flash which I can attempt to mount on another home-made bracket using the hot shoe grip as a component.
Now I'm curious as to how well this will work. The AF280T may still be too powerfull but if I can get it mounted high enough over the subject yet still in front of the front lens element it may just work out. I will keep you posted as soon as i get all the pieces together. Christian On Thursday 14 February 2002 12:00, Flavio wrote: > Fred wrote: > > Flavio, might you consider the AF280T?
