Chuck,

Didn't realize that Nashika also saved on the flash. The Nimslo does have
the auto feature. As indicated in a previous post, they say it will work
with any camera set at f5.6. My plan is to look at the Vivitar, shoot part
of a role with the Nimslo, and then part of the role with my trusty KMart.
Then if I'm not satisfied, I'll get the Vivitar. 

Interesting that in an article back when Reel 3D was publishing their
newsletter, David Starkman had a column about shooting with an auto flash.
His choice of a flash was also from KMart. KMart obviously was a better
outfit then.

Thanks for the help.


Jack
