The best test is not a flash meter. Put a roll of film in your cameras, take pictures around the house, in the yard, wherever, using the flash. Take the film to a 1hr lab and look at the prints AND NEGATIVES. Then you will know how good it is and what the limitations are. This is what I did and as a result I was very confident that the wedding photographs would be perfect. And they were. Jim At 11:26 PM 5/11/00 -0400, David E.
