Dear Jim,
Great! Thanks for the help. And thanks too, to the others who have
made suggestions. I do have manuals, but of course, the 380 manual
doesn't discuss the Elan 7e, and the Elan 7e manual doesn't mention
the 380. However, the E-TTL light does come on and the zoom
indicator light does change position within the limits of the zoom
lens I have attached. And, the 380 does make a racket as I change
the focal length. I'll have to get a roll of slide film to finish
your suggested test.
