Just so I understand what you are saying... meter readings for soft boxes are different then meter readings for relfectors. I always thought that 2 stops was 2 stops, no matter what the light source.

Anyway I have always thought that ratios were a waste of time and energy to learn...that as photographers we should think in stop.

Good tutorial BTW.
