Gary Fong Lightsphere... clear or cloud?

:)

Which one would you recommend? And what is the Inverted Dome Lid all about?

Looks like a nice product though

I have just purchased two of the clouds, one for each camera setup I have, it is the favourite choice of Gary Fong, it gives great skin tones. The clear is for larger groups.

You shoot upright with the lid (inverted dome) placed on; indoors with low ceilings, and remove the lid for high ceilings. Outdoors; point the lightspere at your subject with lid on.

Very nice product, can't recommend it highly enough.

Cheers :D

I've got the clear, and use it with the inverted dome for macro work - shear heaven :)
