You are probably better off using a faster film, grain and all.
I don't think you'll get much in the way of light output.
If your camera doesn't have dedicated flash metering, then any el cheapo
flash with a built in thyristor and bounce head (sunpak), would do a great
job with a diffuser or a bounce card.
I bougth a 433D for $60 CDN a while back, and it works fine. Still looking
for a 280T (cheap).
