What do you think about this diffuser?

[Jack]

Helix_2648 the easy way to make a simple diffuseur is to take a sheet of tracing paper A4 size to cut at the bottom a hole which size should be between 1 or 2cm larger than your lens cap. Trace this circle with his center at 2cm from the bottom of the sheet in the middle. Cut it and make two little holes at each extremes of the cut to place a rubber band. Now you've got a curved diffuser like the one you're looking for...

That's interesting MinitecaPhotographie , you could write a tutorial

Thank you very much MinitecaPhotographie. I'm afraid of the stability... I would prefer a more stable plastic version. But good to know how to cut a diffuser. Maybe we've some more stable diffuser material in our sample shop.

And if this diffuser is not enough you can had a thin peace of foam on.

I think Andy Taylor LRPS can add some info, if he is around.

This first one I've done was in plastic made with a side of plastic container of 5 liters. Clipsed on the top of the lens.

I don't know if everyone knows Thomas Shahan who is for me a god of macrophotography but his diffuser il really simple. Just a sheet of flat tracing paper which is inside a plastic pocket fixed on his lens at rue bottom by rubber band and at the top attached to the lamp of his Kx800 twin flash.

My actuel 2.2 version of my homemade curved diffuser is very efficient regarding all my last shooting sessions but it needs some hours to do it.
