 Can be very usefull August 20, 2008
I think this is a must have. Sometimes when the ceiling is low, or very reflective, it can cause uneven exposure, but with the Omni-Bounce does a good job to make the exposure very even. A must-have for me!
as good asi expected August 9, 2008
Very confortable piece of equipment that I carry on everywhere.
Though I'm not a professional, I can notice the difference between pictures, and the Sto-Fen helps me a lot. I have already taken a few great pictures in caves and I'm looking forward to doing more.
 There's a much cheaper way to bounce... July 26, 2008

I own an SB400 flash and looked at this diffuser attachment. First, like the diffusion adapter that comes with the SB800, it's a bit bulky and takes excess space. Secondly, it costs. Thirdly, you can lose it.
Much easier way to bounce and diffuse an SB400: tape a white business card to the top of the flash so it hangs off the front. Bend the card at the middle upward to a 45 degree angle. Tilt the flash tube upward 90 degrees so it dumps the light into this mini white card. Shoot the photo.
You can leave the card on the flash, fold it up and stick the whole thing in the SB400's cute little carrying case. Zero cost. Replace it when it wears out.
By the way, the SB400 in a room with an 8-10' white ceiling works really well by simply rotating the flash tube up 90 degrees. By design, the exact amount of light emits from the edge of the SB400 flash when it's pointed upward. This gives a perfect amount of fill light and the very important eye highlight. You really only need the diffuser or this whitecard trick if the ceiling is so high the flash runs out of gas. The "before and after" photos shown here would look exactly the same if you simply point the flash tube toward the ceiling.
I also found that pointing it up at less than 90 degrees allows too much light to go forward and overexposes the upper half of the frame. If I use the tilting flash at all, it's always up the full 90 degrees.
 Works as advertised, adds lots of options for your lighting July 12, 2008
Love this little piece of plastic. Makes all my flash pictures warmer, gives a lot of light variations when combined with angling the flash itself. Recommended.

Over all a Great product, takes a lttle getting use to, in order not to have your photos come out under-exposed. After a little practice, great addition.
