(switch to Courier type to see this properly)

Great idea! You could also use the white corrugated plastic board 
with a slip fit. Light & flexible & cheap, fits in the camera bag.

I suggested a slip fit bounce reflector earlier for the T32, like 
this:

\
 \
  \
   \
    \
  ___\
  \xxt32xxx
    xxxxxxx
       \ xx
that you put on after flipping the flash lens to face upwards.

Now I just have to put a hole in the far end.
So it will now look like this:

I've gotten no lens shadowing using a 90mm macro and the bounce 
flash. Using the bounce may also be brighter if more is bounced than 
transmitted thru. f/32, here I come.
