Markus, You might be interested to know I tried some bubble wrap as a flash diffuser. I saw them doing it on the site you pointed to. I used the 'small bubble' wrap, and still have some problems to work out, but it sure is convenient. It's a big square of bubble wrap and a rubber band that looks like I'm covering the flash with bubbles for travel. Regards, Bob S,
