My DF400MZ replaced my Canon 420ex as my emergency ETTL on-camera flash. (Note to self: finish my 420ex pics and sell it!) Basically the 285, with the exception of no optical slave, is for most photographers a better choice for an off-camera flash. But that's a spot already filled for me by 2 Canon 540ez flashes.

I want a 285. Do you still feel this way about the DF400MZ? I want a 285.
