Cheap diffuser panel from Habitat (UK)

view profile

I was browsing my local Habitat store today, looking at their clearence items in the sale and found some beach mats that I thought would make perfect flash diffusers. I'm not sure if Habitat is just a UK thing but I think they're owned by IKEA.

The panels came folded up in a round carry bag. In the sale they were £3.60 (regular £8), when I got home and opened up the bag there were two inside. What a deal! The size is around 6ftx4ft. The item name is Aruba and can be found online: www.habitat.co.uk

Here are some quick pics I shot this evening. SB-800 at 1/8th power gave me an aperture of f5.6 at ISO100:
