Got it... it's not a Gary Fong Lightsphere II. But a rip-off of the same thing made in China I guess. It's called Lambecy. CP sells GF Lightsphere for $91 (non-negotiable, controlled price). I bought the Lambecy (almost identical design I guess) for $40 just now. I haven't test but someone at the shop also shopping for something else told me he bought both the clear and cloud versions and having used it say that it works just as well... need to check if got colour cast... given that the plastic is slightly bluish-grey, might have a slight blue cast... not sure... will try and let all know...
LightSphere and Minolta 5600HSD

Actually all the wordings plus photos (of the model) are from GF's website and videos!!! Phew... talk about intellectual property...
so which size did you buy..?
that's the same thing I'm thinking of buying.
for those of you wondering why I order "online", hint.. see my location..
most of my accessories are from 'mainland' (Java), from local buy-sell forum, then have it sent direct to my house, usually the price is still lower than going to Singappore by myself.

You can buy the current SONY HVL-F56AM, which is the same as the 5600HSD minus the Konica-Minolta logo.

P3. The P2 was too tight couldn't even get it onto the flash...
Tried the device today... poor results... partly because the auditorium I shot in was like 25+ feet high... no bounce possible. So shot direct with the translucent cap on... not very good... today (Goodness it's 2am) will try again... will be shooting a classroom...
