Hi everyone,
I am looking for some advice, I am an amateur photographer and have just purchased a Canon G16 after my Sony gave up the ghost after years of abuse in the oceans of the world! I have a Light & Motion Sola1200 that I have achieved some pretty good results with in the past using the old Sony (also some not so good lol) but I would like to know, if while I am upgrading my kit, is it worth while buying the AF35 I am looking at on the budget I have? I was doing some research as I know very little about strobes having never used one before and came across the below paragraph on Wiki which has now just confused me!!
"With digital, this way of direct reflection metering is not possible any more since a CMOS or CCD chip, used to collect the light, is not reflective enough. There are a few older digital cameras which still use the analog technique, but these are getting rare.
Any help or advice would be great. Many thanks in advance.
Chris
