Use the lid for something else. Cut the bottom off. Make a slit from top to bottom. With a bit of adjustment, you can now feed the cut ends into the slots on the top and bottom of the flash output window. Diffuser for free! If you use a Fuji tub, the pictures may have a green cast but Kodachrome ones come out perfectly. Joke. > You should always use the TTL setting on your flash with the Super Program.

There is also the possibility with auto settings and diffusers that some of the light emitted might go direct to the auto sensor, causing underexposure.
