jimmy_rhyne Posted March 25, 2000 Share Posted March 25, 2000 What is the difference between 6006 Module 1 and Module 2? Secondly, does the 6006 use HFT or HFT PQ/S as the standard lens for the camera? Will HFT operate the camera without manual stepdown? Finally, which flash adapter does it take to make the 6006 TTL and what Metz flash unit works best with the 6006 in TTL? Jimmy Rhyne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_loftis Posted March 30, 2000 Share Posted March 30, 2000 Model 2 has provision for multi exposure. That is the main difference. You can use PQ lenses, but the camera was designed for Non-PQ> You can't use the "S" lenses at all. The camera does not support TTL Flash. You will find that the 45 Series or the 60 Series Metz units work fine in auto mode. If you don't mind the size the Quantum Q-Flash is also worth a look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard_fateman Posted March 30, 2000 Share Posted March 30, 2000 The previous answer is correct but maybe not so specific.HFT simply refers to the multi-coated optics. All thelenses that are denoted PQ or PQS are also HFT. If yousee "HFT" without PQ or PQS, it is an older lens thatdoes not have the capability to signal the body whatits maximum aperture is. So all metering is done bystopping down the aperture until the amount of lightreaching the sensor is appropriate for the shutter speedthat is set on the body. This is not exactly "manualstepdown". It is shutter-priority automatic exposure.It is a bit clumsier/noisier than you might like, sincethe exposure setting is observable only by pressing abutton on the body. (PQ or PQS lenses on a 6003 or 6008do not need this.) Model 2 may have a different viewingscreen and some different internal parts, but the essentialobservable difference is the multiple exposure. I think the SCA356 is needed to hook up the Metz flash unitsto this camera, and the 45CL is certainly a nice unit formost purposes.

richard_fateman Posted March 30, 2000 Share Posted March 30, 2000 Oh, one more thing, either 6006 camera DOES support TTL flash, whichis the whole point of needing the SCA356+metz deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
