Howdy,

I want to shoot some portraits outdoors (open shade) using  a short telephoto 
(either 135 or 125 Hektor) fairly wide open (f2.5 or f4) to maintain narrow 
depth of field. I also want to use some fill flash. My IIIf will only synch 
at relatively slow shutter speeds. It would appear to not be possible to have 
big apertures and slow shutter speeds with any film that has a reasonable 
ASA. Is there a way around this dilemma that I'm not seeing?

Thanks,
Corey Levenson
