Do many people here use reflectors? I've been throwing around the idea of getting one (only €15), though it's not particularly high on my list...

Not only as a reflectors, but gobo, shade, extra lens hood, etc. It also helps out when using a flash for a little fill. But as others have said it won't work in every situation as easily as flash will. www.patrickpike.com

Typically I like to use it to block out the sunlight vs reflect light on the subject. Scott
