Thanks for your reply...... >No, you don't have to compensate for the Softar, I don't think. To test, >check the meter with it on and off and see if there is a difference. I'll try and check that out........ >What went wrong? Was the flash set for the proper film speed? Yes... >Was the proper aperture set on the flash? The aperture on the flash was set at f4..... >What was your shutter speed. The camera was on 'P' mode........ so I think it was 1/100s...... >Did you give it a few seconds after the green light to shoot? I shot when the green lite came on (removing the camera from my eye to see the green lite on the flash ).... I forgot to lookout for the red lightning symbol in the viewfinder....... >And last but not least, do you KNOW the processing was right? (Grainy is >indeed an indication of underexposure). Yes.... I looked at the whole roll of negs..... the other shots were spot on.... properly exposed.... Oh... I bounced the flash though...... TMLee
