anyone recommend whether the 80a or 80b would be more useful in a range of

I've used this combination when I had to, & there are a few factors to
consider.
First of all, there is a difference with the 2x and without, or with the 1.4
instead. It simply will not be as sharp. OTOH, it will help you get some
shots you wouldn't otherwise.

I'd like to get a flash unit that's smaller and less cumbersome than the
550EX to use for day light fill on an EOS 3 and to use instead of the
built-in flash on an EOS 5 for indoor shooting at limited range. I've been
looking at the Metz 28AF-4C TTL as an option.
Does anyone have

Hi Kim, You are not the first and I guess the last to be asked to loan
your equipment.
No excuses, just be firm and say, sorry I do not loan my equipment. You
will find it hard the first time but I can assure you it gets easier.
A lot of people only think of it as (only) a camera and not real

Kim,
You can let him shoot a few frames after putting the neck strap around his
neck, doing this while you're with him all the time. Not much risk then, I
guess.
