Interesting.
The FA500-FTZ is one flash able to output 1/32 of full power. If the burst

How does that translate to GN? is it as simple as 5 stops (2^5 = 32) under the

There are some problems inherent in correcting verticals in Photoshop

Not everything can be fixed in photoshop. Scanning the negs to fix
