-----------------------------------
I forgot to consider the requisite flash power in my last answer.
Recall that at ISO 100 and 1/60th second you need an f/22 exposure. If
the fill flash is allowed to be as far as 2 stops down the flash needs
to operate as thought he exposure is f/11. Since the guide number on
the T-20 at ISO 100 is only 20 meters then your shooting distance is a
maximum of 20/11 = 1.8 meters. A T-32 will get you out to almost 3
meters. On the other hand I'd really like to have less than a 2 stop
differential so even the T-32 is somewhat limited here.
