It amazing how we will spend thousands on bodies and lenses, and then spend days figuring out how to build a $5 DIY version of a $50 dollar light mod. But I do have a really cool straw grid that fits my 430's and 580.

the way i look at it, i can build a beauty dish, but i cannot build an L lens...so if i save $50, i can put that towards another L... :D

I also look at it as a challenge to be able to build something that actually works. :)
