I have devised and improvised a number of flash diffusers for both
the T32 and T20 flashes. Unfortunately I have no photos of them to
share, nor have I made them a permanent fixture on the flash. Most of
them have centered on cutouts made from 1 gallon plastic milk jugs. Most
have simply consisted of an appropriate sized hole cut in the jug, and
then hung over the flash... etc.

Thanks, Charlie.  I had hoped to use the T-32 on other than an OM at
times so I wanted to keep the normal auto mode operational.  As I
commented in my original note, I couldn't see how the Lumiquest
"Softbox" and "Mini Softbox" could be compatible with the T-32 as
claimed since it seemed obvious to me that they would block the auto
mode sensor.  I wrote them about it and the reply was essentially; "Uh
oh, you are right.  It won't work.  We'll take that off the web site."

So, there are now no products at all that Lumiquest claims to be
compatible with the T-32 in auto mode.

I will figure out the mechanical design (including some hinging so that
it folds up) but was really wondering what other folks might have used
for a material that is light, durable, white and also opaque.  Guess
I'll have to go look in the craft shops.
