p.1 #3 · Speedlight Modifiers (beauty dish/snoot/dome) NEW! | |
A lot to pay for things which can be done other ways. What I don't see in the kit is any modifier that would improve the lighting on a face.
The light bulb attachment will light up a room similar to bounce off a ceiling, providing diffuse light but without any real control over placement or ratio.
The snoot attachment would be useful for a spotlight effect, but the same effect can be obtained with a few cents worth of foil. Same for the filters. For a buck you can buy a Rosco sampler that as gels which fit over the hotshoe perfectly.
The dish attachment doesn't appear big enough to function like a studio light dish does, using the "hole" in the middle of the light pattern created by the plate in the middle to prevent a hot spot in the forehead when feathered in a butterfly pattern. If you buy it I'd be interested to see how it works.
