I just shot an AB800 for the first time at 1/4 and 1/2 power. Metered at 1/125, F4 to F11, ISO100 on a 20D. This is playing with angles, etc., for setups using an umbrella and reflector. Range to subject was 6ft to 8ft from umbrella surface.
Same setup with a 30x40 softbox, 1/2 power, metered at F8 to F11 with a range of 4ft.
Again, this is all at ISO100.
I'm really curious what the OP's ISO settings were if he was blowing out across a room.

So true. I was assuming he was at ISO 200...
The f/8 to f/11 sounds about right. I don't like going beyond f/11. Between 4 and 6 ft to subject in a med size softbox that's about where I am as well. I think it's usually a tad below 1/2 power on an AB 800 at ISO 100 on a D200.
