You need to find the ND filters to fit in the special slot that you access by

You will need a diffuser for wide angles, a ND filter or even a double layer
of tissue in a pinch. You can use a Stofen or even an umbrella or use bounce.
Anything you do will cut down on the minimum camera to subject distance. I
just bought an white Ultralight umbrella from Office Max or Office Depot just
to use as a flash umbrella. With an extension cable you can strap or Velcro
it to the shaft of the umbrella (you lose TTL however).
