Bokeh at 105mm as advised by the guru here...

Image looks kinda soft though, could be better if subject is in the middle to have a sharper image. 18-105's edge at 105mm is kinda soft.

owh, will try to snap the subject in the middle next time.. thanks for the c&c!

Speaking about diffuser/bounce card, i've DIY-ed my own foam bounce card few months ago... It's very effective and cheap, only RM2.50 per A4 size foam. Can easily put into anybag because it can be rolled and will retain shape after that.

I think RM170 for a piece of plastic and card is not worth the price. I think my DIY will have just about the same outcome, just that it doesn't look so cool and not that versatile. Will post a photo of it later.

That's what I wanted initially, went to search all over Melaka for the material cannot find. Got fed up and went to get the DFD instead. That one's good lor. can adjust power accordingly. But for places with really high ceilings cannot bend forward. Other than that, it is similar to DFD's concept.

Heng lah. Can spend so much for a diffuser you guys.
I think i will self diy one when i'm free, personally don't feel the DFD worth the price.

Not everyone would want to DIY, but if you've the time and skill I would suggest you to do that. DFD's not worth for the price. Too pricey for such item. But still cheaper than those Whaletail or Lightsphere actually haha.

Here's the photo. Just taken 5 min ago =D



Yeah it cannot be bent forward but I saved RM170. No complaint for the price =D
But yea you need to change it once after few months but it's okay for me.

Actually, to DIY this is just about 5min la. just cut to the shape you prefer. And find better rubber band/velcro straps like what im using. I bought velcro straps at popular book store leisure mall. The foam paper my fren helped me buy in Mid valley.

Yeah, I wanted this foam paper actually. Can bend to the back to decrease power. But can't go in front for more power. Find high and low at Melaka cannot find ._.|||

i wanted to make those..but the foam..whr can i buy??

Foam i got from midvalley. Not sure which bookstore leh. I try to ask my friend later.

^ok..pm me the detail..and the name is foam only??been google about the name..some called it craft foam or something like that...

There is a card clipped on the foam when i bought. The brand is Foam Zone. It didn't mention about what the foam is called. you can ask for "foam sheet" or "foam card" or "eva foam"<< heard it in another forum and "craft foam".
