Hmm... I wouldn't bother with 35mm in that case, which almost always
means manual flash... BTW, I hate shooting strobe pictures with 35mm.
Especially if its a paying gig. Give me my "Polameter" any day!:-)

Just out of curiosity, why couldn't someone do that with TTL flash?
Wireless flash systems are pretty common, and some of them will even allow
"ratio" shooting as well. With high quality systems like Quantum's Qflash,
one could set up a multi light TTL flash system using whatever ratio one
could want. Between flash exposure compensation and placement you could have
all the "wrapping" you could desire... Someone who knows their equipment
will be able to get the shot, one way or the other...
