DIY macro softbox

One Saturday evening gone ;)

This is basically a DIY softbox to diffuse flash lighting for close up macro shots.



But really soft shadows... me likes...

One glitch, TTL doesn't work, flash has to be used in manual. These 2 shots were at 1/8 power





I've put a reflective piece of board at 45 degrees to direct light more effectively towards the opening to reduce light loss





Here are the measurements in "cm" tailored for A700 + F58 + Minolta 100mm f/2.8 macro
