For slide film one can bracket - not for safety, but for use. As such

I just ran a roll of Fuji Velvia 100 through an old Kodak Brownie
flash model, including a few flash shots. I'm anxious to see the
results, considering how little control you have with a Brownie.


With the brownie one would have better success with flash as you can
control the exposure more precisely than ambient light (as long as you
know the aperture, at least).


After doing some research on line, I seem to run into a variety of
opinions about what the aperture and shutter speed are on the old
Brownies from the 50s. The consensus seems to be something like 1/45
and F22. I figure either flash or bright sunlight. I'll know for
sure when the film comes back from the developer.

Various places seem to indicate an M sync - if you used an X-sync flash
your shots will be after the flash fired.
