Stephen, You do run into the issue of shutter speed - without a leaf shutter lens, you are limited to 1/60 or slower. Beyond that, meter and set the camera for proper exposure. Then set the flash to A mode (automatic - no ttl) and then set the f Stop (press the select button in center of dial, then spin the dial) to be x number of stops higher or lower than the camera. When you fire, the sensor in the flash will read the light and quench when appropriate. If you use TTL you will not be able to control the flash power. The advantage to the leaf shutter lens is that you can use most any shutter speed. The technique is still the same.
