Hi Rainer, and Piers :)

Thats ok, as I did say in the email, not accurate but does the job
for field work :-)

I'm getting to old to do maths in my head now, which is why I do
the rough way, and to be honest, I normally take a few more GN
off for good luck, call it experience but also bearing in mind I am
only talking about T20, T32's here.

>That gives 45 for the double 32, but 38 for 20 + 32. Not a big difference,

I'd use your way here, as the error margin is increasing to much.
Mind you, I cant see myself using 2 x T32's and a T20 in the field.

I'd also definitly stick with TTL for anything more than 2 flashs unless
it was a studio setup with time on my hands.
