Third Party Diffusers?

[aquacocoa85]

Guys or Gals,

Any suggestions? Lightspheres and Whaletails are a little expensive. What are the alternatives and prices and Quality? and will they fit Flashes such as SB800?

Thanks!

Go to Orient Photo (SLS top floor) and get the clones. I think they are easily half price. For Lightsphere, be sure to get the correct size to fit your flash, but for Whaletail, one size fits all.

Okay. So does that mean that it looks exactly like Lightshphere but just cheaper?

Sounds very attractive.

read that labency is rather harsh as compared to say LS. True?

GaryFong is selling the Lightsphere on his own website for US$39.95, very tempted to run a mass-orders at this price...

I have no experience with both; I usually just use the Gary Fong LS. From what I hear, the Lambency is no slouch - it is quite effective too.
