I was doing something similar with a Vivitar 5600 I recently bought
from KEH. I put an Omnibounce on it, set the camera and flash for f8
and rolled the ASA until the exposure looked ducky. I realized later
that the flash, for all intents and purposes, was doing a full dump,
so I guess you could say the methodology works even in that twilight
zone between auto and manual and beyond. It really puts me off
getting an expensive dedicated flash.
