The part of the unit that goes onto the camera has a hot shoe on top to mount the finder. I shot the images with a Metz MZ40 using a Stoffen diffuser. I was also firing the strobes in the catwalks at the same time by plugging the radio remote into the pc socket of the M6 TTL. In the first image of the page below, you can see one of the strobes up in the catwalks firing. My results without the finder are at the link below. The images were framed off to one side without the finder. I had to do a bit of cropping. http://home.istar.ca/~robsteve/photography/cis2002.htm Regards, Robert At 07:20 PM 3/19/2002 -0800, Ray Moth wrote: >Gilbert wrote: > >If it's the SF20, the diffuser is supposed to cover the 24mm field. > >Photo Phreak wrote: > > > Now the queation is: How will you increase the angular > > coverage of the flash to match the angle of view of the > > 24mm. lens? > >====================================================================== > >If you don't have a diffuser to increase coverage of your flashgun, it >can be achieved, where practical, by using bounce flash.
