Of course, with color negative, I have to stick to ceilings which are not so far off from white that I can't correct in the printing.

When you've got 100asa film in the camera and you're getting a 1/4sec f:1 or 1/2sec f1.4 reading - pop the SF20 on with or without gaffer taped diffuser/reflector and shoot. Negatives are lovely, rich in background tones, subject frozen by flash duration, and still displaying available light effects. Much better than 1/2sec handheld without flash. Much better than no shot at all.
