Issues encountered with the old method:
1. shadows on lower part of the subject
2. dim catch light
Sample shots from the improved method. I think both the shadow and dim catch light problems are resolved!
The solution was the turn the 270EX upside down / belly up! Like this:
Now I can just click the flash head to take care of the different working distances at different magnification!

That looks like a cheap and easy alternative to the MT24 twin light rig. Now if you can move the flash L and R for direction control it's a winner.
