Paul,
Again, the catch is the F280's limited flash output range when higher shutter
speed is used with Super FP mode. I believe there is a curve provided in
the F280 manual of this sort - sorry, I don't have it with me. Anyhow,
I believe the curve shows that the higher shutter speed reduces the flash
capability distance in somewhat exponentially. Does anyone has this curve ?
Also, AFIK, the F0.6m cord is only good with F280/OM-4Ti,-3Ti combination
(maybe good with OM707 and another AF OMxxx don't remember the number)
because one end of the cord attaches to the hot shoe and the other end
attaches to the dedicated socket of the F280.
