wow, very detail, thanks CP...
So, you prefer the 20/80 which is the one with holes in it? How does it work?
Do you have any end result pics that can compare a diffuser <-> Reflector <-> diffuser+reflector?

I am using the omni-bounce diffuser but I think the light is not soft enough. So, In general, what situation should use which one?

One more question, my flash gun can't swirl, so if I want to take portrait shots, what should I do?

Thanks

(btw, how many flash gun do you have??)

Wow.. I thought I have a good collection of diffuser, but you sure have more!!

I have one of those relatively large ones (not as big as your largest), they sure do work well well you do direct flash, when there is no where else to bounce =D

Siumabb, in general, larger the diffuser (or softbox) softer the light you get ..  

You can actually COMBINED them to use .. (such as the built in flipping diffuser + reflector + screen)

I bought most of them from Vistek, and some ordered from BH.

You will found TONS of diffusers from TW .. (whatever funny shape .. even barn door, snoot .. etc .. and cheap!! lol ) however, they DON'T ship to Canada ..  SH_T ..  if you have friends in TW, ask them to buy for you.

This is one good package I got from BH :

If you mainly want the light go softer, pretty much any of those works great with the screen!!

( only come with ONE reflector, but different insert. )

Thanks CP for the info, maybe I should DIY some and get the rough idea of how they work first.
