Re: Flash diffuser for NX3000 flash?

There is no point in using small diffusers on flashes, if you want to get soft shadows you need a diffuser (softbox, umbrella, whatever) that is at most 3-4 times smaller than distance to subject. So for diffuser that's 4 inches across (small softbox) you would need to be a foot away.

Might I suggest a different approach? Use either a TTL flash extension cord for NX or a small DIY reflector (I can make a drawing for it if you are interested) for your sef8a flash and bounce the light off the walls / ceiling?
