Subject: [Leica] Two new uploads and a nifty new accessory

This morning I used a new flash accessory for the first time and am very 
happy with the results.   It's a Lumiquest Mini Softbox; a simple vinyl 
light diffuser that attaches with Velcro to my Metz 45 CL-1.  Although I 
normally use the hard plastic Metz diffuser when shooting at close 
range, this Lumiquest device works far better. 

In these two photos I employed fill flash one stop under the ambient 
light exposure of 1/30 at f5.6.  I was about a foot away from my little 
subjects, who were totally undisturbed by the soft light:
