Thank you. Regarding the warming Lightscoop, the mirror is gold-tinted -- not covered with a gel -- so there is no light loss other than what occurs naturally when sending the light to a ceiling or wall and back down again. Janet, what a thoughtful, thorough review. Thank you.

I have been considering a speedlight for my D70 but did not want to put out the money for one. Based on your review, I think this will work fine since I would not need it that often. Thanks!

If you dig around on the Lightscoop website, you can find one comparison of the regular and the warming lightscoop. I think I found it under "Overview", and then I selected the "Lightscoop vs. External Flash" option in the left-side frame. And it does say that you should use the Lightscoop with light, neutral-colored ceilings or walls. And as an FYI to all, I edited this post to change a word I used to describe light diffusers in the second paragraph. I changed "opaque" to "translucent". An opaque piece of plastic would block the light, not diffuse it! Sorry about that! Thanks, Tyler.

Well done! I would love to see a comparison of this product and the "warming" one. My guess is there wouldn't be a huge difference as the light will end up being whatever color the ceiling is (not the reflector), so in the end the only thing the gold color will do is eat some light.
