Just don't try it with trannie film. 

OTOH, when I do it looks like the output from Mark Rabiner's Pentax half
frame. Which begs the question, "Is half a frame better than none?" 

Only if you like cropping!!! 

I don't. I find 1/125 synch on Kodachrome gives my images an "avant-garde"
look.

i was going to keep my mouth shut on this one, but nobody brought it up
that i could see, but about a year ago, a LUGGER (whose name escapes me)
posted that they'd accidentally set the sync speed to 125 during the day
to do fill flash, realized their mistake, but developed the film anyway
and was happy to discover that the images came out okay.

we tested it ourselves in the plug:

try it yourself.
