Dear William, Like others pointed out, your problem has, most probably, to do with the fact that the shutter speed must be slow enough to have the way to the negative completely free at the moment the flash appears. You can test this as follows: "take a picture" without film, with the flash on, in a little bit dark room,without a lens mounted,keep the film door wide open. Look from the rear side to see the light passing the shutter. With the shutter at 50% of the correct "flash sync speed",in your case 1/125 sec, you will see that about 50% of the negative will not receive light (50% will receive, for the optimist :-)) At the correct flash sync speed (in your case 1/60 sec)you should see that the whole negative receives light. Hope this help to check if this was really your problem. Regards, Jos
