Other factors, such as reciprocity effect, perceived sharpness etc. may have an effect on tonality or other visual aspects of a photograph, but I don't see how it could influence the modeling effect of the light as delivered from its source. In any event, I am glad flashbulbs, which I always hated, are no longer in common use, replaced by electronic flash. I also hate electronic flash, but for different reasons ;-)
Thanks much for the URL, which I bookmarked for a further look. For several decades I have used a filing card rubber banded to the back of my upturned reflector, then a Sto-fen, but always on the lookout for a better light modifier.

Hi Carlos - There is no question that the reflector has an effect... here is one of the nicer one's I know of for strobe: http://store.garyfonginc.com/liiido.html That said, I very much doubt the simple flash lamp reflectors in use at the time did much to manage the light in the manner you are speaking of... I think it is due to some of the other factors we gave been discussing...

I couldn't compare color photographs, I found old color prints taken with natural ligt only. Carlos Yahoo! Encuentros.Ahora encontrar pareja es mucho más fácil, probá el nuevo Yahoo!
