Gary Fong has had at least two other similar contraptions previously for hot-shoe mounted flash, Peter K. on this list has done a thorough test in the past and have so far not found these to be not much more than a point source diffuser, and certainly not worth the money when a plain bounce card can achieve a very similar effect. One wonders if a thin sheet of white translucent materil attached with a rubber band in a similar mannter can achieve the same effect at almost zero cost?
