Acer,
The homebrew diffuser will do you some good. I almost never use my T32
without it. You could make an exposure comp cut (up to -2/3 stop in some
cases) with slide film, but you'll be OK with the regular stop with auto
or TTL on print film probably. If you're really certain of your GN with
the diffuser, shoot in manual when you can and you really want the
exposure on the money. Try to use a stop which sort of works with the
ambient light: f5.6 might turn out to be good.
Shooting NPH, so exposure isn't critical. I'll be erring on the + side to
be safe, rating it EI 320. Yup, trying to get some ambient light in as
well; with the 50, I can handhold it and let a 1/30 shutter add some
natural light. Any semiformal stuff in the house will be tripod mounted so
shake won't be an issue.
The Lumiquest pocket bouncer looks good too. It reminds me a little of
the angled bounce card that came with my Vivitar 4600. The Lumi bouncer
is probably even better as it appears to lose less light than the Viv
bounce adapter. I wish it were possible to determine a GN for these
bounce thingies, but I would never trust it where bounced light is a
variable. Maybe with the Lumi unit it would be possible?
They claim a stop and a third.
Are you going to attempt any verticals? Always a problem with
attachments.
Nope, the dreaded side shadow. I'll shoot horizontal all the way. When it
put an album online, however, I will crop to vertical if needed.
