I'll respond to the list anyway. I'm not familar with the FTZ-500, but if
it can tilt maybe you should try bounce flash? That will probably give you
the best results, assuming you have a good ceiling to bounce from. Plus it
doesn't cost anything :)

hi....it's been a while since i've been on here....but i've got a question
for y'all.
a girl i met while photographing this year's chinese new year parade in san
francisco (she admired my big f/2.8 zoom lens) asked me i could do some
photography for a fashion show she and her friend are putting together. i
would be taking pictures of subjects with my PZ-1p and FTZ-500. i know that
close up shots with a direct flash are kinda harsh....so i was wondering,
what would fit the FTZ-500 to diffuse the light? i looked at the Lumiquest
Softbox...but wasn't sure if it would fit (haven't been to the store with
my FTZ-500 and credit card in hand). oh yah, i'm using a Lindahl
Specialites off camera flash bracket too--that should help too. anybody
using a diffuser on the FTZ-500?
oh yah, one more question. the Lumiquest Softbox sez that 1 1/2 stops
would be loss due to the diffuser...does that mean i set the exposure comp
to - or + 1 1/2 on my PZ-1p?
please send any comments directly to me....i don't wanna clutter the list
thanks for your time!

psst. the "big" f/2.8 zoom lens in question is a Tokina ATX f/2.8
80-200mm....so not tooo great...albeit big =)
