I tend to use Av if I have a lens up to 100mm on, Tv or TAv with anything longer.

2: When it's used as an off-camera slave flash.
If you have a P-TTL capable flash and camera, why not use that mode?

Thanks for your comments. I do have a reflector which I've used very occasionally. Another ebay purchase, it's a 5 in 1 tool, gold, silver, white, black and shoot through.
Whilst I live in Spain, I buy almost everything from UK.

I'm looking at putting together a small and cheap portable studio lighting setup.
I have the flashes (2 X AF540FGZ and 2 X AF360 FGZ) so no problem there.
I need a couple of stands, flash brackets, umbrellas/softboxes.
Does anybody have any recommendations. I've only looked at ebay so far and all kit I've found is located in Hong Kong. That's not an issue as long as the kit is of reasonable quality.

Well it would have originally been intended for macro use, fitted to a bellows attachment.
if it is a true bellows lens, like the pentax ones, it will not have any focussing mechanism, the focussing is instead done by movement of the bellows.
