  1. my experience is with the 550ex which should be vastly similar. If u're not using an e-ttl

    capable sync cable (ie u have a normal 2 pin sync cable), then u will need to set the flash to

    manual mode and adjust the power accordingly. Because the flash is likely to be more

    focused than continuous lighting, i'd suggest u use a diffusing device of sorts (umbrella

    diffuser) to reduce the harsh shadows. Also, keep your subject further away from the

    background to avoid them casting sharp shadows on the background. Its all about how

    focused your light is really.

  2. I'd go with the scanning route. A scanner, good computer and a good printer will take up

    much less space than a mini printing darkroom. Also allows u to work anytime u want and in

    the light. The conveniences are just too great. Burning and dodging in Photoshop is also a lot

    easier allowing u to undo mistakes made. If u prefer B/W, look into either getting a earlier

    generation Epson and use a dedicated B/W Lyson ink system or into the newer HP printers

    with more gray tones. Guaranteed to make u happy.
