Mike, what you and Fluff say isn\'t necessarily different. Your test shot approach means shooting Manual flash unless you\'re porting around a doll in a white satin dress as a prop. Shooting a test shot ETTL without a white dress somewhere in the scene just isn\'t the same as shooting the real thing with the white dress stuff and all. The test shot in advance is a very good advice, when shooting manual everything. And for that, you don\'t need a top-of-the-bill Canon flash.
Still, I value the advice given. I find I\'m always working around the limitations of flash. I\'ve got the feeling you are working with it.
