[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 822125, member: 50197"] I don't consider it an intercept. This is the flash I've been using. The Amazon 2 has a small soft box. I picked up that when I first got my flash. Assuming it is the same size as mine, it works fine for macro work. Mine is 6 1/4" x 8 1/2". I prefer the homemade diffuser I put together. It is similar to the AK diffuser, although it is made of thin cardboard, duck tape and and old t shirt. It won't hold up long term, but it serves the purpose for now. There are several shoot through fabric diffusers on the market for around $10. I have one, and it works very well also. It is very convenient to use and store, and works about as well as the small soft box I have. Before I made my own diffuser, I would sometimes use the soft box in conjunction with the shoot through for extra diffusion, although I did lose some additional light power. Most any of the diffusers will work fine to get started with. You will likely try several and settle on the one you like best. There are lots of articles and videos on the internet that go through the different types and show examples using them. [/QUOTE]
