RE: [Leica] Flash question

Corey:

ND filters, "Pull" the film speed down even further (the kodak/fuji guides
show the data for this, or you lab will be able to handle 1, maybe 2 stops),
find deeper shade.

Beware the older lenses wide open (unless the softness, esp. at the edges,
is what you're after...)

Or rent/borrow something to do the job easier

good luck

Alistair

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,
