Those fold out reflective circles you can use to bounce daylight and flash off???
Are they good?

(just curious)

I used an A3 sketch pad to bounce some light for a portait the other day, does that count?? :D I wasn't expecting much, but it worked a treat. It just filled in the shadows on the side of the face (the portrait was taken with the other side of the face facing a window).

You need a means of support for them but yes, they can be very useful.

I saw in the Lowepro catalog some of their bags have a gold and silver reflector that is an optional accessory for their higher end backpacks, it zips away for storage in a back compartment (much like all weather covers zips away in the bottom) and I thought it was a neat ideal. However the latest Lowepro catalog I got sent from Maxwell (dated 2004/5) had no mention of this in any of the sections.

Can anyone confirm or deny? For the Supertrekker, Protrekker, Naturetrekker, etc range of bags.
