Hi Chuck,

 >I tried both flashes set at 1/4 power (1/2 guide number) and full  
power.
 >At ISO 100 I got exposures of f/5 for 1/4 power and f/10 for 1/2  
power.

Even in light of your later made corrections as to power/f-numbers  
this is indeed good news: as these are product pictures where as many  
details as possible are desired (i.e. big DOF) I will most likely be  
opting for settings where the aperture will be closed down to one stop  
below the smallest aperture, or thereabouts. Possibly I'll then end up  
using an aperture of f16 or f22 (possibly depending on whether the  
'standard zoom' is used (which is the case for most pictures) or the  
50/3.5 (close-ups)).

Alright, methinks I've got enough of the theory in writing now to give  
some things a go. I hope to get around to it this weekend, but it may  
be later. Your e-mails will definitely be used for finetuning the set- 
up, and I may ask for further advice at a later time...

Cheers and thanks again!
Olafo
