I know 1/50 is a low synchro speed, but in some tricky shooting situation fill-in can be useful. In case: which flash? which film? any tip for a quick aperture calculation? Thanks in advance - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ernesto I use a 283 for fill flash regularly with chrome films from asa 25-100. Just remember, keep your fill below your incident meter reading and piece of diffusion material or spun glass taped over the flash helps keep the subject from looking like a cardboardc cut-out. The rest is judgement and experience. Also remember, you can use your flash at any sppeed below 1/50th. Paul
