I too, would be interested in hearing about this , as I too, have a Santa
Barbara pinhole , and studio flash unit... 64 times of popping the flash? is
that a typo, ? I can believe 6 times, to compensate for the f/stop
differential and the reciprocity , but 64 ?....... Santa Barbara gives a
working f/stop of F/177 on their data sheets .
