Comments about Professor Kobre Professor Kobre's Lightscoop, Warm Version Bounce Flash Device for Sony DSLR Cameras:

If you're looking for an affordable way to spread natural light across your field of view, then this is the item you're looking for.I find this to be even more effective at creating a natural light for my indoor shots than bouncing the light from my 430EX II. That's because this causes the apparent light source to come from behind and above you, which usually looks more pleasing in a photo.I never have issues with red eye or wash-out. The sample images are very accurate compared to what I've achieved. I have the warm version and it does enhance skin tones, but without apparently coloring the rest of a setting.You do need to have a white or light-colored wall and ceiling to use this effectively, and because it is bouncing twice before it strikes your subject you have some light fall-off as your subject distance increases. To counter that, I just increase the flash output and it works incredibly well. That design element does limit your compositions somewhat since it won't work without a solid surface somewhere behind you.Its only downfall is the fact that it is bulky, and could break if just thrown carelessly in a bag with other things.But if you want great lighting for typical indoor settings and don't want to fork over 400 dollars (or more) for a speedlight, this is your solution.
