David, With E6 and your results will be ready at the lab in an hour and any
adjustments that need be made can be done quickly and easily.
Bob, perhaps clarified something that I left out. Polarizing screens over
the lights was certainly meant and since you clearly stated that you knew to
use two lights at 45 I assumed that you'd know to put one on each light and
of course one on the lens. Silly me : )
Thanks for JUMPing in there BOB.
Good luck David,
EJ Neilsen

Bob, perhaps clarified something that I left out , due to an over sight.
Polarizing screens over the lights was certainly meant and if you look at
