Hey, Brian, I know you don't mean me but I'm gonna speak up anyway ;-)
For fill-flash, you might like to try using the T32 in auto mode,
rather than TTL mode. Select 'manual' mode on the camera, shutter speed
1/60 (or slower) and a lens aperture that is 1 stop smaller than the
flash auto setting you have selected - there should be a choice of 3
settings on the flash. E.g., if you set the camera to 1/60 at f/11, set
the flash auto setting to f/8.0. What this basically does is to make
the flash give enough light for a wider lens aperture than you are
actually using. Thus the flash intensity will be less than
theoretically needed but enough for fill-flash. You need to use the
camera's meter to ensure that the shutter/aperture selection is right
for the brighter areas of the subject (probably the background), which
may be difficult if you are using a fast film (ISO 200 or more); you
may then be forced to use a neutral density or polarizing filter to get
an aperture/shutter speed combination that brings you within the flash
auto range. I hope that's clear? :-O
