[QUOTE="Crazie, post: 349426, member: 30752"] WayneF.... Thank you for sharing your vast experiences on the subject. I've learned much more just by reading your reply. DOF was a small part of that query; as f/8 would meant deep DOF. Then again it is meant to be portrait shot; Wouldn't matter much. My key query was based on an observation I made seeing the demonstrators using 70-200mm lens shooting from >15' from the subjects.. One would wonder if additional ambient lights (beyond metered light on subject) may ruin the shot. This is my major concern as I went the cheap way in choosing speedlights over studio strobes; I convinced myself that current DSLRs' are now better built than my old D100; the ability to shoot at high ISO can be a remedy in not wanting to spend up big with studio strobes. As I was trying last night; the speedlights were working hard giving me f/8 @ISO 400 I might need to ganged more of these speedlights up to give me an extra stop if I start using soft box.... bother bother bother P.S.
