Walt;

I bought the Stroboframe Lepp a while back and agree that it gets a bit
unwieldy using twin T-32s.  Lots of cables as well.  The other problem I had
was that the shoe mount is actually metal and I think it was shorting out
the flashes.  I'd shoot and nothing would fire.  I then removed the flash
and it actually fired!  I put some black electricians tape on the shoe mount
and then it seemed to work fine.

An older, but nearly identical, one of these is the basis for my bug
portrait setup.  It works great with the T28.  It could be used with a pair
of T32s, but it would be heavier and, with the battery weight in the
flashes, not nearly as well balanced as with the T28s and the T control
unit and batteriy weight on the camera.  The T28 flashes themselves weigh
next to nothing.
