Hello all, I have a question about P-TTL on the MZ-S using the AF360 flash and ... wait for it ... Bellows.
The MZ-S will not use P-TTL if you put on a pre "A" lens (for example a set of bellows). I know that it is possible to fool the camera by drilling out contacts on the lens mount, but before I take to the bellows with a drill I wanted to get my logic checked to be sure it will actually work. I use an MZ-S with bellows M with a SMC-M 50mm f1.4 reverse mounted (and occasionally a 2 times converter as well - 8 time magnification to the film) with lighting provided by 2 AF360's mounted on a bracket about 6 inches on either side of the lens. I think the bellows tells the camera that the aperture is wide open, does anyone know for sure? Does anyone know if the P-TTL burst is sent with the aperture wide open of closed down? If the P-TTL test burst is normally sent with the aperture wide open, will enough light make it down the lens for it to get the exposure measured correctly? I normally shoot with the lens on f16 or f22. Any information would be appreciated, as I don't want to do irreversible damage unless I know this is going to work.
