I've been trying to do macro work using Canon equipment (A1) with a standard
thyristor flash and have been achieving expected results - very under or
over exposed pictures.  A salesman at a local photo shop suggested I buy
a ML-1 macro flash (which, of course, they don't sell).  If anyone has
experience using one I'd like to hear from you.  My other alternative is to
abandon my Canon and buy a Nikon and take advantage of Nikon's TTL metering.
If anyone has any suggestions or other information, your help would be
appreciated.
