DIY mini-softbox

i built this little contraption onto my trusty (made in Japan) Vivitar 285HV.

 

i just measured it out on matte board, cut it to size, and taped it all together.

 

materials used:

-wax paper 4x5 neg sleeve(s)

-matte board (black on one side, white on the other)

-gaffer's tape

-matte knife

 

it's not the most sturdy thing, and i'm sure it wouldn't handle a drop too well (nor a strong poke), but it works pretty decently.

Examples shot here, here, here, and here.

 

Now i need to modify it to be removable and possibly collapsible for portability.
