Acer,
The homebrew diffuser will do you some good. I almost never use my T32 without it. You could make an exposure comp cut (up to -2/3 stop in some cases) with slide film, but you'll be OK with the regular stop with auto or TTL on print film probably. If you're really certain of your GN with the diffuser, shoot in manual when you can and you really want the exposure on the money. Try to use a stop which sort of works with the ambient light: f5.6 might turn out to be good.

Shooting NPH, so exposure isn't critical. I'll be erring on the + side to be safe, rating it EI 320. Yup, trying to get some ambient light in as well; with the 50, I can handhold it and let a 1/30 shutter add some natural light. Any semiformal stuff in the house will be tripod mounted so shake won't be an issue.

The Lumiquest pocket bouncer looks good too. It reminds me a little of the angled bounce card that came with my Vivitar 4600. The Lumi bouncer is probably even better as it appears to lose less light than the Viv bounce adapter. I wish it were possible to determine a GN for these bounce thingies, but I would never trust it where bounced light is a variable. Maybe with the Lumi unit it would be possible?

They claim a stop and a third.

Are you going to attempt any verticals? Always a problem with attachments.

Nope, the dreaded side shadow. I'll shoot horizontal all the way. When it put an album online, however, I will crop to vertical if needed.
