You have achieved a very natural look with these two images. Using the 135, is the SF20 powerful enough to bounce and still affect the image, given the distance from which you would be shooting. These look natural enough that they could be just available light, no visible sign of flash assistance. Thanks. Simon - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
