Am I understanding correctly that only the following 3 cameras have
genuine vertical grips ? By that I mean a vertical grip with a shutter
release button.

The other cameras in the MZ/ZX series do not have a vertical grip but
only a battery holder, right ?
Thanks

shoot-thru umbrella with reflectors at the back to block
light spill. Has anyone compared this to a softbox ? If the difference
is minimal I will go for a brolly box because of both weight and price.

most of
our models are posed and they move around. I think the greatest
difficulty therefore is to aim this hair light quickly. I think the
"rules" say the hair light should not spill onto the face or to the
background. Am I getting it correctly ?
Thanks again.

I am tempted to buy a used Canon 28-135 IS and borrow a Canon but before
I do so I wish to hear your opinions whether this is a stupid idea.
I have been doing bounce flash indoors a lot using a shoe-mounted flash.
I started out with f/5.6 at 1/30 on ISO 800 film rated at 400 or 500,
and got nic
they are pretty much equal and the Canon even have
eye-controlled focus. Well the Pentax has illuminated LCD though...
In terms of brightness, the lenses have a 1/2 stop difference, and the
Pentax finder looks darker, but I can't tell it is 1/2 stops darker,
more than 1/2 stops, or less than 1/2 stops.

...and I say, just as authoritatively as you, that the 300D will be a
marketing *flop*. Consumers with a thousand bucks for a camera are
much smarter than Canon realizes. The will invariably spend the extra
few hundred for the 10D rather than be seen as
kiddie-Rebel-photographer-wannabees. Or,
Which manual focus Pentax bodies support TTL flash ? So far I have only
found LX and Super A/Super Program. Did I miss any other ?
28-75 is just right for me in that
regard. For film I will stick with my Contax G2 with prime lenses for a
long while. It is the Pentax *ist D which I plan to get down the road.
