There's a way of doing it with TTL flash metering as well, I've done
this with my Metz.

1. Set the camera for the correct ISO for your film. Meter the scene,
and choose your manual aperture and shutter speed (shutter speed has
to be below flash sync speed). Leave the camera in metered manual
mode.
2. Turn on the flash. Set exposure compensation on the camera such
that it is 1-2 stops below your ambient exposure setting. This will be
the 1/2 or 1/4 settings on a Super Program.
3. Compose, focus, shoot. Your flash will fire off with 1 or 2 stops
less power than it would have without compensation.
