Does anyone use a flash diffuser on their flash, like the ones that look like a small softbox?
If so do you like it or is it a waste of money?

I use it all the time when shooting weddings, as it softens shadow edges significantly (and works even when there is no ceiling or there is a high or strongly colored ceiling.

I haven't had time to use them much, other than a few test shots. I will bring them with me camping this weekend and see if I can use them. --Ducko
