5 Stars Everyone said it already..
This thing is just great for diffusing your flash. Produces a soft look to your photos - can’t even fully describe how much it really improves your flash! Just remember that if you’re taking larger group shots at a small distance, this will diffuse your flash to the point where you won’t get enough light on your subjects!
5 Stars Exactly as expected
This fits perfectly on my Canon Speedlite 430EX II. It’s easy to install/uninstall. Unfortunately, it cannot be left on the flash unit and stored in the case that came with the Speedlite. But that being my only complaint, and a minor one at that, I am very pleased.
This simple device provides more flattering and naturalistic lighting. Used with bouncing techniques, you can really eliminate the harsh blue tones and harsh shadows on your subject.
5 Stars Best for the money
I found the Omni-bounce provides very even lighting. It’s much more so when bouncing the flash off the ceiling. I thought my 430EX when bounced off the ceiling did very well, but when the flash was fitted with this cheapo piece of plastic I was pleasantly surprised. Some say it is over priced, and yea for what it is, yes it is, but for what it does, it’s more than worth the money. It’s still about the cheapest thing you’ll have in your gear bag. It fits a little loose, but I’ll work around that.
1 Star Fits too loosely
I’m going to have to give this a 1-star. I just received it and haven’t taken a single photo yet. But I can already tell I’m going to have a frustrating time with it falling off of my 430EX-II. Judging from other reviews, I would have to say that sto-fen has a problem with their manufacturing; some fit well, others not. This diffuser sits so loosely that it falls off when I tilt the flash down. Think I should return this…
5 Stars Lightweight and works great!
This Omnibounce diffuser is a must-have for indoor shooting, especially when you have walls and ceilings to bounce off of. With this diffuser, some light will be directed toward the subject to fill the face or the shadow under the eyes. It will eat up your Flash power a little but it has never been a problem with me because I am not a professional photographer who shoots like 500 shots in one evening. If that’s the case, just carry some spare batteries and you’ll be set. I also find it useful outdoor when the subject is under some shade, not in direct sunlight. Last but not least, it’s super lightweight and fits my 430EX II perfectly.
