I suspect the T32 zoom adapter doesn't have good efficiency, maybe
due to material of optical elements or the construction or the fact such
wide
angle beam is difficult to rectify. Very offen another flash units with
their
zoom adapters have much bigger increase of GN with longer focal length
set on it.

I was thinking to supply the T32 or T45 directly from the mains 230V/ 50 Hz
thru rectifier and resistor or better simple current stabilizer for charging
the main
condenser of the flash. After a look at the schematic it should work,
if you can live with fact it's against safety standards. Did anyboby think
about it?
Radek,
