into the varying exposures by Super Program/Super A owners.

Doug,
I can't tell a thing from what you have got there. Were you using the TTL
feature of the Super Program at all? You should get the same exposure at all
speeds from 1/8 to 1/125 based on the TTL lighting the scene. Did the TTL
'lightning bolt' flash in the viewfinder? Did the flashes show TTL
confirmation?
The subjects you are photographing are silver metallic and highly reflective.
The background is what??? Why not pick some much simpler subjects and get
rid of the diffusers and whatnot on the flash units. At least leave one of
the units without modifications.
How does this picture photograph with a single flash mounted on the Super
Program? It IS possible that the flash will overpower the scene at f2.5 and
only 9 feet distance. If you give it too much light, the Pentax AF280's I've
used won't have enough time to shut down before overexposing the scene.
While you may overpower things at f2.5, at f16 you need 100+ times the light
to achieve the same exposure. So if those shots are underexposed, that's
logical.
