A 1600/3200 ISO with a DOF setting of about f/6.3 should give a sharp overall image and post processing and NR can clean up any noise in the shadow areas. The other option will be a diffuser on my external flash and bounce it off the white headliner. BTW...I do have an idea of what I am talking about...LOL
I'm glad I got all that, Jack. My brain hurts now.

I like the idea of a 320 and 550 sharing the Monarchy.

Just the one time last Saturday after that mud rain I hit coming home. I use the Cal Duster a couple of times but with no rain or sprinkler run off, it will stay looking pretty good.

I don't think the ambient lighting is as dramatic in the GL...I'll get around to it and see what it produces picture wise...

I have not had a real problem with the Cal Duster on my other black cars...we will see what turns up soon.
