I am not that familiar with the new Nike's or cannon flash systems, what shutter
speed will they sync at? if it is 60 or 125 I cant see a benefit to them for
fill
flash as you will still need a high f stop to slow the shutter down, once you
get
used to fill flash and changing f-stop and flash out put it is not that
difficult, I
use my OM system for some pro work, when speed, meaning move from here to there
fast,
is essential, and enlargements over 11X14 are so remote that you would have to
go to
Armenia to get them, and love the system for that!
just my 0.02 worth
