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
