One would hope it is easier than that! Honestly, the ability to do really
sophisticated flash work is possibly the best reason to own a wunderbrick...
For example, with the N90s and SB28 flash, which used just as is has
_exquisite_ ambient fill flash, it is quite simple to do exposure comp on
the body. This will control both camera and flash--not what you were
looking for. Additionally, it is also quite simple to dial in + or -
compensation on the flash itself. Then, get this--with the MF26 control
back you can actually do multiple flash bracketing. For example, you could
program in three increments up, and three down, or any other combination,
put the motor on continuous, and fire away! That's a bit much for me, but
the capability is there, anyway...
BTW, the capability of which you speak _is_ available with Rollei
6001/6003/6008 with the Metz SCA356 adapter...
