Re: [OM] Olympus Power Bounce Grip 2

How does any of this relate to the subject of my comment which was that 
flash units tend to be underpowered with respect to guide number?  My 
statement means if you use guide number in your calculation your shot 
will be slightly underexposed.  That's all.  I meant nothing with 
respect to various exposure situations.
