There used to be a flash head described as being ' bare bulb ' in which the whole tube was above the flash body and had no reflector. When triggered the light emitted went everywhere. A bit like a lightbulb with no shade. Great for interiors as light bounced everywhere so any shadows were soft. For me the Stofen is the nearest to that.
In this test the ' Lumiquest, no insert, no diffuser ' does well as some light comes from the Lumiquest and some from the ceiling so making the light source really diffused. Very similar to ' Stofen Omnibounce, 90 degree bounce '
So are you still going with Stofen ? I presume its for your SB600. Two guns both with these ....... that will be light everywhere.
