OK, this is it, the one time I'm going to agree with Frank.
I have a son who is old enough to be in the military. The anguish that a
parent goes through when a child is hurt is deeper than any other.

Joshua, the 360FGZ unit will work with Z1-p in plain TTL mode,
which doesn't allow flash compensation (as opposed to P-TTL,
available only with MZ-S and later bodies).
So the answer is adjust the output from the body.

In addition to Greywolfs answer, let me add that putting a coated
