What's new with your diffuser? Larger?

the old one is 4" diameter (round)and 8" deep and very light. the new is 6 1/2 X 6 about 8" deep and the downside is its bigger and heavier

You use an SB-400, correct? If so, I'm curious what you shot at with the larger diffuser. I was just out and I had to go to 640 ISO @ f/22 with the flash Manual @ 1/4. This was with my 105 with 68mm extension. I was shooting aphids-- about the only thing I've found, lately. It's pretty overcast here... so that was my daylight exposure. My diffuser is smaller--about 3"x4". I was thinking of building a larger one like Shahan uses-- but it might be time to buy a more powerful flash.

When I downloaded... they all looked hot, so I dumped the lot. It's too late to go back out. I'll experiment so more. I had been using 1/16 @ iso 500.... That appears closer to your setting. I do think I have less light overall here in the Pacific NW-- I try to balance flash to daylight....yes sb400,i shot at iso400 1/13 power. i turned it up from 1/20 because my batterys are getting low. i dont see why you think your sb400 is under powered if you are only using 1/4 of its power.
