Use a piece of reflective material (mirror, foil on a card, etc.), attach it at a 45 degree angle (shiny side toward the ceiling) in front of the strobe on the SF20 and the light will bounce just like a bigger strobe would. While not an elegant solution, it works and makes for a really small bounce kit. I have had success with this rig on the M6 TTL using Portra 160NC with lenses stopped down to f/2.8. The rooms should have a fairly low ceiling that is light in tone, and you can't shoot anything stopped past f/2.8, due to the small output from the SF20; but if you have fast glass, it works fine.
