I also took out the currys whatever happens insurance for the princely sum of £4.50 a month
Can't wait to give it a whirl and upgrade the firmware....

Looks a good diffuser. I wonder if the Gary Fong one is
better? .... he used to be a decent photographer so I
wouldn't expect him to put out ant trash.

Gary,
I have one of these and they are excellent. I use the white diffuser cone but in the head of the diffuser I line the back with foil, sellotaped into place. It's excellent at making sure 100% of the flash power goes where you want it and not lost illuminating behind you
So these last night where taken with the white top which was ideal.
The foil sounds a good idea, could reduce power and save battery life a little
I slightly modified mine as it is only held on by the front, to the rear I drilled two holes and added a couple of plastic tie straps for the strap to hold the rear down on the flash.
I will post photos later...

I work between 11 and 1 on a Saturday night and yes see all sorts. As the club is the client they don't want those kind of photos on their page. But lets say i do have some

Focus? hmm tricky, MF set lens to 2 feet and I move backwards and forwards until focus confirm lights up
Its all technology lol... With practice I can now nail focus usually first time, some I miss but not many

I have myself a weekly a job shooting in a club, where due to the darkness I have to use flash, the ceiling of the club is painted red so bouncing is not an option. Using flash straight on caused me a fair bit of work in post & a fair amount of shadows on walls behind subjects.
Used the Lambency diffuser tonight and have to say my post work has been cut right down and I am really pleased with the results.

Have you considered putting key search phrases in there in white text as opposed to about you info, so search engines can pick them up and the viewer cant see them??
