[OM] Re: F280 effectiveness was First E-1 Gallery

[Piers Hemy]

By chance I found a note of the GNs for the F280.  They confirm your view
Skip:

Shutter speed           Guide number
1/2000                           2.6
1/1000                           3.7
1/500                                    5.2
1/250           `                        7.3
1/125                                   10.4
1/60 or less                    14.7 (I don't think the F280 would fire at
shutter speeds below 1/60!)

Oh, did I mention those are guide numbers in Meters, NOT feet - so it's a
little better than you might have thought.

I noticed that the FP mode on the FL50, like the F280, isn't real effective
unless you're very close.
