That's not true, Lex. One can make a linear flash dial (instructions
are on a site I can't recall just now) and do accurate fill-flash
with the A-11 and A-16. Thanks to the 1/500th synch, you can get amazing
reach out of those little units, specially the A-16. You can bracket
fill-flash as well. This makes quite a useful and small kit.
