What magnification did you hit? Dayum.



Was at around 4:1, enough to fill the frame up

They were just bought. Some guy out of the UK was making them.
I had normal stofen type directly on the heads, then these bigger ones over the top of those.

Think this might be the guy https://www.macrodiffuser.com/shop looks like he has his own store now

I bought some of these a few years ago. They shipped flat and unfolded so you can put silver stickers on the inside of the heads, then attach the white diffusers. So you should be able to replace the diffuser since it's not even assembled when it ships. I'm not sure if the white plastic bit is structural though.

Yeah that's the same type I've got.
By the description the inside where we attached the silver sheet is now white plastic, and comes fully assembled. The diffusers still looked to be attached with the white plastic pin so can still come off easy.

Two more questions, then I'll leave you guys in peace, how big is the diffusion panel and how much gap is there between the flash head surface and the panel. I'd ask the guys but he seems to have closed down for Xmas.

Mine looks to be about 115 x 65mm . Gap about 15mm at the bottom 30mm at the top
