Whether I've got the 81a or B on the front of the lens or if I'm bouncing off the ceiling or wall every slide on my test roll of E100 VS came out right on the money! Yesterday I took off on a hike and in my Domke bag "F-5XB Shoulder & Belt Bag Navy" with my M6 TTL and new 90 and in the next compartment the Metz 32-Z2 flash with this new SCA 3501 TTL shoe (which cost a hundred bucks from Camera world) I was able to shoot stuff which had some raw sunlight shining on it as I just stopped the lens all the way down to F16 at 1/50 of a second. But that's within a range of 9 feet at that F stop. I'm back to TTL just like my old Nikon daze! Mark William Rabiner
