So, assuming I want to do fill flash at a 1:3 ration of this subject wearing
a wide brim hat at high noon using ISO 100 film with my Zuiko 100/2.8, how do
I set my OM4T and F280?
Thanks.

Yes Warren, this is my point. The Oly flash system is great except for this
major flaw. Contemporary flashes allow this calculation easily -
automatically. I know it can be done using normal auto or manual - but doing
algebra from a tour bus is not realistic...
I had a situation photographing the most incredable birds in Florida at Weeki
Wacchi where a blue heron in full "landing configuration" and heavily backit
was photographed and was a great picture except for the need for a little
fill flash to bring out detail and perhaps get some specularity - so a good
shot was not the great shot due to flash equipment issues
If the F280 can do this type of exposure, it should have been documented
somewhere.
Maybe it is documented and none of us know about it? (Hummm I don't think so)
Cheers
