Hi John, The LS lenses have built-in shutters that you have to cock manually by turning a ring. The camera senses whether it's cocked or not. You set the shutter speed on the same ring.
It's a long while since I sold my 75 LS, and I cannot recall how it worked with flash, I'm sorry. I have a hunch that it might be fully manual, but I couldn't tell you for sure... hth, Jostein ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Whittingham" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, July 03, 2004 9:48 PM Subject: Confused! please help - 645 75mm 2.8 LS > OK I'm reading through the literature on the 645 I bought (no manual) and I > really fancy a leaf shutter lens 75mm f2.8 LS and it says that it can be used > with flash sync up to 1/500 sec. and may be used in manual mode.
