Carefully! Bet you will get some offers for folks wanting to be your
assistant. On a serious note, I'd probably put an 85mm f2 on one of my OMs and
use
the T 20 on top of the little gizmo the elevates it 6 or 8 inches above the
lens. I would assume this will be in a fairly large room and I would let my
feet
do the zooming. A scouting trip to the location prior to the shoot would be
helpful. If you have the good fortune to have some good available sunlight,
I'd take advantage of that. If you have the sunlight, you might also in
addition to getting the available light shots, use the flash on manual,
diminish the
light a bit with a couple of wraps of clean white handkerchief held on with a
rubber band and have it be more fill (expose for the available sun light).
If their is no available light, I'd use the flash on auto. You could also use
the a bounce grip and bounce your light off the ceiling or walls, assuming
they were at a reasonable distance and of a reasonable color. I'd likely use
the
T 32 if I was doing it this way. I suspect you will also hear from and get
some good advice from others on the list who do this type of thing for a
living.
Good luck. Bill Barber
