No idea, but I use Fuji Superia 400 and Konica Centuria Super 400
interchangeably.
- camera would be Spotmatic F or Super A (with mount adaptor)... I only
bought the Super A very recently, and I noticed the meter is off, at least
compared to the Spotmatic F; the first roll on the Super A is still being
developed, so I'll need te results to 'trust' it's meter
Although the rule of thumb is to use the equipment you are most
familiar with, you will find flash-TTL a good help; I suggest bouncing
the flash. May not matter if the ambient meter is off in this case,
but can you trust the (separate) flash-TTL meter?
- using a tripod to take advantage of available light as much as possible
- compensate exposure to eliminate effect of visible windows on the light
meter
Spot meter off something, would be my suggestion.
use (yes, I have the Super A, but as far as I understand, It'll only do TTL
with a dedicated Pentax flash, like the AF280T + an A-SMC lens).
Yes and (I think) no. Yes, it need s a TTL flash; no, I think it will
work with any lens, including your SM-and-adapter combo (certainly SMC
does not matter). I could not see a reference to the contrary on the
manual:
