Thank you for that comment. I have not considered the T-28 because I
thought it might be too bulky and could catch on to something while crawling
through the bushes. But perhaps I should look for T-28 as well. I have
experimented with using external flashes + slave triggers, that works fine
but is clumsy to work with in the field.
