Softbox for camera mounted flash unit...?

[theMusicMan]

I have an Oly FL-50... one of these:

... and I am wondering if there any such things as small soft boxes that can be placed over the head of this flash (or even if such things are needed/useful)

Anyone know...?

Yes, you can get them on Ebay...

Or do a search for "lumiquest softbox III" or "strobies"

I have a softbox for my flash (non of the above ones) and it's brilliant. Its a metal frame with material around it so really sturdy.

Only thing that isn't great with mine is that it's old and as such the material changes the colour balance of the flash.

The Lumiquest one is ten times the price of the HK one though ...

Just providing options...

Oooh think I might get one of those, too, to go along with my umbrella!
