A finer clarification is that with the 2s and 4, you are more likely to get an
"under" or "over" warning in the finder when shooting ttl flash.  I don't know
what the effects are with slides, but with print film,  your results are
acceptable no matter what the warning is.
With a 2N you'll get a blinking confirmation and a proper exposure.
TTL flash varies flash duration from 1/1000 to 1/40,000.  It is possible, though
I am not 100ure, that the 2s and 4 may not be able to  manage the same degree
of control of the flash.  This could be a trade off to allow for multispot
metering and other electronic control (seen and unseen).  Like:  If you want 8
spot readings, then otf flash control might be affected....
Has anyone done any close up ttl flash work with slide film and always had
perfect results, or are they under or overexposed?
