ed_hurst Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 <p>The front is a different cross-section, so yes - you need a separate one...</p> <p>Ed</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stock-Photos Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 <p>I highly recommend Joe Demb's "Flip-It!" flash reflector.</p> <p>http://www.dembflashproducts.com/flipit/</p> <p>Although it cuts down on the reach of the flash, it's great for portraits and it softens shadows better than a diffuser.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisjb Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 <p>I picked a 2 dolla special chinese Sto fen knockoff from ebay, works fine with a lil tape, not as snug a fit but its just a slave flash for my purpose :)</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben_cops Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 <p>Ironically, the diffuser for the 580 fits on the <em>diffuser </em>for the 430. So you can, er, double your diffusion. Or at least store them together.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
