Slow flash sync speed is a serious problem for a pro trying to do fill
flash in bright sun. The F280 was a nice idea but still pretty much
useless. With a full sun ambient exposure of, say, 1/400 second at f/8
(using ISO 100) the maximum range of the flash is less than 1 meter. It
covers the macro photographer perhaps but not the wedding photographer.
Where's Mike with the flash bulbs?
