[QUOTE="desmobob, post: 771519, member: 45742"] Thanks for doing a nice comparison post. I need to do the same type of test. Though I haven't done any actual comparisons, I seem to get the best results indoors with my SB-800 diffuser dome on, sensing switch disabled, and flash head pointed at the ceiling or slightly forward. This can require a lot of flash power in big rooms or long distances. (Disabling the sensor switch keeps the SB-800 from setting its zoom feature to 14mm and disabling the auto-zoom. I don't know if this makes much difference when attempting ceiling bounce, but I think it helps when shooting with the dome on and the flash pointed straight ahead at more distant subjects.) [/QUOTE]
