Has anyone made a bounce diffuser for a T-32 similar to the Lumiquest
Pocket Bouncer illustrated here: <http://www.lumiquest.com/lq871.htm>
The idea is to produce a similar diffusion panel usable with the flash
head pointed up 90 degrees. Or, maybe there is a better mechanical
solution with the flash head pointed up at 45 degrees. Whatever the
solution, one needs to avoid blocking the auto sensor inside the "O" in
the "Olympus" logo in front.
According to Lumiquest's compatibility chart
<http://www.lumiquest.com/compat.htm> only their "Softbox"
<http://www.lumiquest.com/lq925.htm> and "Mini Softbox"
<http://www.lumiquest.com/lq951.htm> are compatible with the T-32. The
compatibility chart states that both are usable in manual and auto modes
but, even then, it appears to me that both of them will probably block
the auto mode sensor.
I thought there had been discussion of home made diffusers sometime in
the past but searching the archives didn't turn up anything other than
standard T-32 wide angle diffusion panels and some macro discussions.
If anyone has done this already I'd be insterested in material used,
general shape and satisfaction with the outcome. I had thought of using
a white, 1 gallon milk carton as the parts donor but even the white ones
are somewhat translucent and would suffer some light loss.
Thanks,
