I'm impressed beyond belief Walt; that was without a doubt a wonderful
and perceptive use of plural possessive. Most people would not even
have realised that it required the possessive form ... ;-)
In case it is of interest (and even if it isn't) I have just used a T32
(+Stofen diffuser), T20 and Metz 34 CS-2 slave flash for a group photo.
It was a formal dinner, but it was an informal gathering of our
students in their uniforms with black ties before the official guests
arrived. The T32 was on a BG2 and bounced off the ceiling (the light
was!) and the 2 smaller flashes were flanking the camera propped up any
old how. The T20 was attached with a T-cord. I used the setup on Auto
TTL, the Metz was set at the aperture of the lens and I checked it with
a Sekonic 308 flashmeter. I will find out on Thursday if it worked or
not...
