Canon MT-EX 24 Diffusers

chrispp · 2 Mar 2016

Hi moving on from my macro attempts last year I have traded in a few bits through MPB and got my self a decent MT Ex flash.

I'm looking at diffusers has anyone got any advice, what they have bought etc.

Thanks for looking

Hi Chris, I'd start here, https://www.talkphotography.co.uk/threads/show-us-your-macro-rig.132158/
Lots of home made stuff but it's what your happy with.

Thanks Graham, forgot about that thread. I'll trawl through again

@Canon Bob put me on to them, far better than the ones I was using before.

Thanks, I'll look at these. Do you feel you need a little more distance due to size ?

I just rotate them to 45 degrees on either side and they work fine like that. Pretty much a softbox effect.

Thanks, might look at these. Seem quite decent for the price

I have tried lots of diffuser variations but have found the concave design the best for my needs. It costs nothing apart from a little Blue Peter time ;-)

Dang, I wish these diffusers were still available. I just bought a MT-EX24
