I was worried about the discrepency with my Minolta meter, but today I shot a test roll on E6 & the results were spot on. End of problem. About flash with the Heliar. John Collier is exactly correct about bare bulb with my Quantum T2. That's my preferred way to do flash anyway. I have found that in a large room when I need to throw the light a bit further the regular reflector with the clip-on wide angle diffuser that came with it also works well. Theoretically, the reflector/diffuser kit should vignette with the 15mm, but in practice I find it doesn't. Love that Quantum! Simon Stevens
