FLASH question

[pboeckst@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Patrick Boeckstijns)]

Hi all,

1) I've been complaining to several people on the list about the fact that I
allways dark(er) corners on my flash exposures, thinking this was a camera
problem.
People told me It is a flash problem and that my flash, intended for use
with 50 MM camera optics, has not "enough coverage".
Can enyone give me some advice on brands and type's of -NOT TO BIG, NOT TO
EXPENSIVE- flashes that can deal with 35mm optics.
Up to now I have been using a 85 US VIVITAR.

2) Another problem which probably can't be solved is the fact that with
close-ups the (in general) left immage is much lighter than the right one
because flash-shoe's are mostely located above the camera's left "eye". Also
the case with camera's with no shoe at all like KODAK, KINDAR and VIVID (I
think).

3) What kind of flash connection is used with a TDC VIVID. It doesn't have a
shoe right ? 

All reactions wellcome.
Patrick. (happy to have managed to get himself a slice of the Dr. T cake :-))
