The problem with the fongsphere (original or generic) is if you cannot bounce off a ceiling because it's too high without one, you're going to be in even worse shape when you slip it onto your flash. If you're in a small enough room for the fongsphere to be effective, you really don't need it anyway. Did you lose Digital Photo Professional (DPP)? Get it here

The light is just too flat, as the examples in this thread show. Unless you aim to master the art of lighting and getting the flash off the camera, in conjunction with posing, you will be forever doomed to be average. If you're in business you will fail, or at best stay average, as others will understand how to make great light and you will fall by the wayside.

Get nothing, save money, stick a business care to kick light a bit forward if you need to, otherwise, learn to bounce.

Put the index card under the rubber band on the back of the flash head. Point the flash head up, in ETTL, shoot. You also might want to put the card on the narrow edge of the head ala abetterbouncecard. Dave
