[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 264947, member: 12496"] This is indoors? My understanding is we are limited to one SB-700, which is either hot shoe or hot shoe cable, or SU-4 mode. But a group is sort of different, some groups are smaller, but a bigger area to light evenly. Bounce should be a consideration for indoor groups (for a nice even lighting, with more depth of light in the room). It really can handle a pretty big group. Internal flash could be fill for a remote SU-4. The SB-700 has the pullout bounce card too, which can be surprisingly effective. Re bounce, maybe it is blasphemy to think it, but the umbrella is not as absolutely essential for groups. The light has to be well back to cover the group, maybe ten feet, so its size is not as effective or necessary. I would bet on the bounce. Try a few things though. So, how is the umbrella working out in general? Not like walkaround bounce, it does force a fixed situation, but how's the light? [/QUOTE]
