For real macro applications (about 1:1) the size of the flash head is several times the size of the subject. That is the whole point about softboxes and having big light sources in relation with your subject. You don't need much of a diffusor in that close range. Going to less magnification that 1:2 will require increasing the size of your light for the same reason. Using two flash units makes more sense to control how the light falls on your subject (bright/shadowed areas, tridimensional rendering and texture enhancing) or serve to balance the shot with a lighted background (to avoid it become deep black) > >Hope this helps. > Idem. ;-) Greetings, Gerard. * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
