    This for speedlites. If you cut a rubbing alcohol bottle in half the it will slide perfectly onto a speedlite. You can also color them with markers to get different effects. Like coloring with a gold marker for warming. These work like the Gary Fong diffusers but are obviously a lot cheaper.

    Also those little plastic containers baby food comes in fit right onto a speedlite. These can be colored with markers like the alcohol bottles. And these are stackable one on another to experiment with different effects.

    My gf spent about 120$ for a double set of Gary fong.
    I hate him, I hate that he is making so much money off a ****ty PCV plastic part.
    but its like she said. a molded plastic part looks a LOT better at a wedding that a milk jug or a rubbing alcohol bottle. but the alcohol bottle wouldnt look to bad actually.

    I can see where the Gary Fong could be needed just for professional appearances sake. But your right, it sucks someone is making money on plastic. The alcohol bottle can probably be pulled off if some time and care is put into making it look pro. Fortunately I don't have to worry about looking pro.

    Not bad, but I think a better comparison would be the Sto-fen omnibounce, and not the Fong Bong (which in my experience does produce better results).
