Al,
D50 flash sync speed is MAX 1/500 sec. Any value at or below that can be set but not higher. Currently on full bore your flash duration is 1/1100 sec. I hope the attached graphic explains the logic of sync speed. On any flashgun as the power is turned down the flash duration is shortened. I will read up on the SB24's SB25's & SB26's to see what you will gain. Don

In anticipation I have downloaded the manuals for SB25 and SB26. Historically the range is SB24 - 1988, SB25 replaced the 24 in 1992 and the SB26 replaced the 25 in 1994. Benefits over the SB22 are higher guide number of 36 ( more power ) , swivel & tilt flash head and variable power output in manual mode. Big bonus is that all three will take the Stofen Diffuser code OM-C £15:95 at Warehouse Express. This diffuser is the business and needs to be included in the budget. From a look at these specs it seems I may have been a bit optimisic as to flash duration of the SB22 in MD mode.  Here are the flash duration numbers for SB25 & SB26 1/1,000 sec at full output 1/1,100 sec at 1/2 output 1/2,500 sec at 1/4 output 1/5,000 sec at 1/8 output 1/8,700 sec at 1/16 output 1/12,000 sec at 1/32 output 1/23,000 sec at 1/64 output Don

Well..slight improvement tonight.."maybe"? With reduced power on the MD setting I was at F8, now looking at them I dont think I've achieved the DOF required..I've noted the "wear white gloves" advice too for next time!..anyway; got to go..the daughters mirror needs putting back on her wall!

WOW Al,
Now you ARE cooking. I just compared image 3 ( could actually have been 1 or 2 ) with that in your first post. Incredible difference never mind " slight improvement ". Well done definately in order.  Don

Had to have a go at something else in our range..I think I now need a better sample of said piston, anyway, I needed a rest from it!.. This is not as reflective at all as the piston but the techniques, hints & advice from you all helped me produce the attached..
