Hi Chuck,
>I tried both flashes set at 1/4 power (1/2 guide number) and full
power.
>At ISO 100 I got exposures of f/5 for 1/4 power and f/10 for 1/2
power.
Even in light of your later made corrections as to power/f-numbers
this is indeed good news: as these are product pictures where as many
details as possible are desired (i.e. big DOF) I will most likely be
opting for settings where the aperture will be closed down to one stop
below the smallest aperture, or thereabouts. Possibly I'll then end up
using an aperture of f16 or f22 (possibly depending on whether the
'standard zoom' is used (which is the case for most pictures) or the
50/3.5 (close-ups)).
Alright, methinks I've got enough of the theory in writing now to give
some things a go. I hope to get around to it this weekend, but it may
be later. Your e-mails will definitely be used for finetuning the set-
up, and I may ask for further advice at a later time...
Cheers and thanks again!
Olafo
