Alas, none of the Oly flashes do... And since I'm not getting paid for this
job, it makes it *really* hard to convince the wife that I *need* a Metz or
a T32/grip ... ;-)

Hmm... I'd thought of this, but wasn't sure it would work. In this case I won't
have an assistant, no wait... my *wife* isn't doing anything, maybe she'll hold
the flash... hmmm... (This is the first wedding in a long time where one of us
isn't in the wedding party).

I may abandon the 160 except for one roll each of posed outdoor shots with the
Yashica LM and 4-T. Then I'll probably go with 1-2 rolls of 400 in the chapel,
and into the 1000 for later on, unless the 400 proves too slow. I may even load
up the OM-10 with 1000 so I can swap bodies if needed, otherwise, I'll use it
for some FP4+ pushed to 400.
(I just printed an 11x14 portrait last night shot on FP4+ at ISO 400 - very
nice grain, and not too contrasty).
ps: Anyone know which filter values Agfa Variable contrast B/W paper uses:
Ilford or Kodak? (I'm using a Saunders LPL 670 which has built in filters for
both). I couldn't tell for sure by comparing data on the web pages, so I tried
Ilford values. The contrast seemed to build up much faster than it should -
grade 3.5 looked closer to grade 4.5.
