Those aren't "diffusers" in the sense I'm used to using the term. Their value lies in directing some of the flash off in various directions to give a combination of bare-bulb effect and ordinary bounce. (And I rather like them; I've got the one that came with my SB-80DX and one I bought for my SB-28). -- David Dyer-Bennet, <mailto:dd-b@xxxxxxxx>, <http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/> RKBA: <http://noguns-nomoney.com/> <http://www.dd-b.net/carry/> Pics: <http://dd-b.lighthunters.net/> <http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/> Dragaera/Steven Brust: <http://dragaera.info/>
