When I buy a flash, will it tell me what the equivalent is in speed? I had always assumed (correctly I think) that the shutter speed is moot if the light exposure time is governed by the flash duration. If the flash is for 1/500th of a second, I'm shooting equal to that shutter speed.

I had a T20 but it's in America... So I need to go buy another one.. There are no places around here that sells OM equipment... And also, I like flashes that I can tilt up, so I don't get a flash burn on the face but instead, a softer light effect.

Any suggestions of a flash I can buy??

Albert
