Re: Diffuser: Cygnustech vs. AK vs. Popeshield

I don't have either, but am interested in acquiring a macro diffuser in similar design. It looks to me like the cygnustech stores more easily than the AK; it flattens and can easily be carried in a bag - whereas it appears as though the AK would be significantly more work to break it down when not in use.

The AK has the added fill reflector to attach to the bottom, whereas the cygnus doesn't. It also looks like the AK comes with an led modeling light as a standard, whereas you have to pay extra (total $200) for an led with the cygnus.

I'm interested to know what other folks experience who use these diffusers.
