or a 2n. Have taken several thousand shots with them, and see no big advantage
in using a 4. If you're using the 80 or shorter lenses, you may prefer the 12
over the 11 (& use a varimagnifier). As for TTL flash, the closer you get to
the subject, manual flash settings via the manual may be useful. YMMV

For your intended use, I don't see where you need a "T". Other than
titanium top & bottom plate and use with the F280 for FP style flash,
all it offers is lower battery drain. With a little care, all the three
plain 4s I've had have had a the new circuit with the low battery drain.
