Hi, 

I tested my flash units recently in a large dark space and found the best
exposure of a subject at ten feet with the Vivitar was f4.  The Cullmann
yielded a good exposure at f5.6.  

What bothers me though is when I have the Vivitar on the hotshoe and the
Cullmann in slave mode I get f4 again, so apparently the slave flash is
not going off when the shutter is open?  

When I first got this camera I had problems where the only light hitting
the film was from the slave flash, but obviously the main flash was firing
to trigger the slave.  Since then I have had the camera tuned up by Zak.  

Is it common for the flash timing to be off this way?  Can this be fixed?

David
