Hello everybody.
I have a question. I am quite new to photography; I recently bought a Mamiya RZ67 and it works fine, I like it.
Now, for my birthday, a friend of mine gave me a Metz 45CT-5 and I would like to use it, manual mode.
According to both the camera and the flash manuals I should use this formula to set the aperture = GN / distance flash-subject.
In my case: 45/3 = 15, so about 16. My question: how about shutter speed?
Should I use a light meter in AV and set the aperture to 16 to have the shutter speed? I played with that and tried with some Polaroids (I have a Pola back) but every photographs appears completely black.
What's wrong with that? How can I have a "daylight" photograph in a room with no light?
Thank you all for the help
