Yes, David I do use two T32's in brollies every now and then. They do have
enough power for portraiture. I use silver brollies of about 90CM. Each
placed of a distance of up to about 3.5 metres from the subject. I use ISO
100 film and can stop down to F4/F5.6, so I guess the light loss is about
1.5 - 2 stops.
Both brollies came together with a flash-shoe which can be used when
TTL-flashing (No contacts)
Watch out with brollies! the CLOSER tey are to the subject, the SOFTER the
light is!
I also have used white Cards above T32's before I had the brollies. The
light was a bit harder, but the light loss was considerably less.
Hope this helps.
