Hi Gerard, Have you read these threads? http://www.greenspun.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg.tcl?msg_id=006SBz http://www.photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=002UKe Could it be the effect of the E-TTL program to balance ambient exposure against flash? Cheers Julian Loke P.S. Which exposure gave the right results on film? P.P.S. I have now taken to using multi-unit wireless E-TTL flash to control the subject and background exposures separately. Will post when I have this thing figured out. * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
