Hi Bob thanks, I enjoy reading your useful postings. I would like to have something light and portable to put in front of my flashes or to shoot into, I do not own a studio and always will be on different, non ideal locations. I have a "normal" white pocket umbrella, should I try using that to direct the flash into it? happy Easter Markus
