Acer,
I think it may have been Doris that suggested a reflector made from white
card stock. I have been successfully using this on a 90 mm macro for some
time now. I really like the way it spreads the light over a larger area
than the actual bulb of the T32 making the flash more even and less
contrasty. The reflector also positions the light about 1.5 times as high
as the T32 sits by itself. The card that I carry has become less than flat
or straight now, but it still works well and is easy to carry and put on
the flash. Check out the archives and then invest the 50 cents or so.

the reason for the query is that as i walk around on campus i see new
blooms unfurling. it'd wouldn't be comfy if i carried the 3221/3030 around
all day to take advantage of the flowers. besides, with 100spd slide film,
i'd still have to deal with real slow shutter speeds (movement for
flower!). so, with flash, i can hold reasonably still and let it expose
using manual GN calcs & use something in front of flash to diffuse it. i
try it this week and see how it goes. i think the following was with down
flash (on b/w+400, not sure of exposure):
