Hi Howard,
On the Elan 7E, unlike some older EOS bodies, ambient exposure
compensation does NOT affect the flash exposure. To change the
flash exposure, you need to set FEC. You should search for the
threads in the List archives about this topic.

Sure,it can be done. You can also use a 105mm machine gun to hunt ducks.
Would you? There are specific tools for specific work. It's not a rule,it's
just wisdom...

I use the EF300L IS for birds in flight. While it is a great lens, I can not think
of a less appropriate
one for "candids" and "portraits" of kids or weddings! It is a honkingly large and
heavy beast!

For good camera stores downtown you want Stewart's Photo. It's right

but they have a great selection, they are knowledgeable (if a bit
opinionated), and helpful. They'll mostly likely have the film you want.

A 300/2.8 for CANDIDS? The lens is large enough to justify putting wheels on it for
support (ok, a bit exagurated, but...)! You'll need a one-meter safety-zone around you
so that you won't knock people out, and as Ken Durling point
