Broken diffuser plate wp-dc34

[The Cod Father]

I have managed to snap the diffuser plate for my canon housing. I have glued it back together and have used two strips of plastic to reinforce it. The two strips of plastic are not transparent or opaque, will this affect how light is distributed?

i am going to sharm on Friday and am not sure I have time to get a replacement. The repaired plate fits but I just want to know if it will work with the plastic glued across it.

Your repair may cast shadows on your images. Take some test shots to verify. If no shadows you should be good to go.

Do I need to do this underwater to be able to tell? Sorry if this is a stupid question!

A darkened room should suffice for testing. Just set up an object and take a few shots.

I did the same thing with mine and just made a new one. I took a gallon milk jug cut out a square and then traced the lens shape and cut out the oval section. I trimmed a couple of times so that it slipped snug on the lens area and slide into the grooved area Punch a hole for a tie off string and it works great. It is more flexible but that was solved by making it a lit bigger than the original so that it still covers the flash The color of the diffuser is almost the same and it works great. Cost= nothing time = 5 minutes
