In a professional working group of photogs,perception is everything.Why else does one need to outdo others with 200mm f1.8 or 600mm f4 lenes.I did not force any PJ's while I was their photo editor at our newspaper.To buy a pliable plastic translucent bounce card of higher qualities than an opaque paper 3x5 card,(which we all at one time use).They just saw the quality of shadowless flash ,that I produced in my pic's.You must use as broad a light source as posible to eliminate shadows.This bounces light at(your subject) and up thru the card to spread it's light on a subject.Directing a small flash head straight at what your lens is pointing to, produces a hard and heavily shadowed amateurish photo.
Besides which,it mearly passed on my actual costs,and whenever they lost one I made up another free.
One of my PJ's(photojournalist) has your 120 J, but we see that barebulb leaves shadows too.It must be soften with whatever.
One little Tip- use as low a shutter speed as necessary when indoor shooting. I usually put it on 1/30th or 1/15th at f 5.6.In order to gather enough ambient light that mixes with your bounce.To completly eliminate Shadows.
