Barry, here is my suggestion:
A Bouncegrip 2 with a T-32 and a Zoom Adapter, and another T-32 with a zoom
adapter on the camera
hot shoe. You will be shooting with a mostest telephoto, right? Not real
ergonomic, but totally
TTL coupled and the EFFECTIVE guide number will beat most any single self
contained battery
flash. I've used two T-32 that way, but since I have only one working Zoom
Adapter I haven't run
the whole rig as described. But, using the two -32s and one Zoom Adapter, I
had to stop down to
f/8 with the 400/4 and 1.4x-A shooting full figure of my 6-year old niece on
stage, so it is
pretty powerful.
Let us know what you try and how it works.
