I'll
respond to the list, in the event someone else might be
interested.
My PUG
submission for May was done with a PZ-1p with the AF500FTZ and a Lumiquest
Mini-softbox. Overall, it gives a decent, soft light, but with a bit of a "hot
spot" in the center. I use it occasionally to soften macro shots done with
flash, too. It's not the greatest, but it does give a better light than
direct flash.
Hope
this helps.

hi....it's been a while since i've been on
here....but i've got a question for y'all.
a girl i met while photographing this year's
chinese new year parade in san francisco (she admired my big f/2.8 zoom lens)
asked me i could do some photography for a fashion show she and her friend are
putting together. i would be taking pictures of subjects with my PZ-1p
and FTZ-500. i know that close up shots with a direct flash are kinda
harsh....so i was wondering, what would fit the FTZ-500 to diffuse the
light? i looked at the Lumiquest Softbox...but wasn't sure if it would
fit (haven't been to the store with my FTZ-500 and credit card in hand).
oh yah, i'm using a Lindahl Specialites off camera flash bracket too--that
should help too. anybody using a diffuser on the FTZ-500?
oh yah, one more question. the Lumiquest
Softbox sez that 1 1/2 stops would be loss due to the diffuser...does that
mean i set the exposure comp to - or + 1 1/2 on my PZ-1p?
please send any comments directly to me....i
don't wanna clutter the list
thanks for your time!
