This past weekend I rigged an old Nikon SB28 flash to my M6 TTL with a pc sync cable and an L bracket. I know the flash sync speed on the M's is a woeful 1/50, but I thought I'd try it out in daylight just for the helluvit. Used slow film (AGFA Ultra 50) and set the flash to auto mode (punched in the film's ISO and set the aperture of the lens into the flash). I set the ISO dial on the body to EI 12 (so the plan was to effectively underexpose the background by a couple of stops). Here are a few results. I kind of like the look of slow sync in daylight. Kinda funky.

Has anyone else played around with this kind of setup in daylight? Any tips or tricks? Much appreciated.
