5 out of 5 stars Nice Diffuser   July 15, 2008
Does what it says. Inexpensive and great for price. For Pro must have thing with external flash.


5 out of 5 stars Takes the edge of flash shots   July 11, 2008
I like natural light shots best but sometimes you really need a flash to take a shot. However, a strong external flash like a Canon 430 EX or 580EX can make taking good medium to close range shots a challenge... redeye, lots of shadows, etc.

I tend to bounce flash most of the time and that helps to reduce the problems somewhat. But even with that, sometimes bounce flashing is impractical (like outside). I've often resorted to rubberbanding a tissue over the flash so I thought perhaps a diffuser would do the trick.

There are lots of options out there but I like the Sto-Fen diffuser since it's simple, inexpensive and small. It does a good job of softening and spreading the light without making you look like you should be shooting a wedding.

It couldn't be simpler - just slip it on and bounce the flash. The camera and flash take care of the rest.



4 out of 5 stars This is for the 430, not the 520!   July 2, 2008

Be careful! This one does not fit the 580! The product description is not clear on this and being a beginner, I didn't know and bought this one for a 580 flash. I would return it, but the shipping cost along makes it not worth it. I'm going to try to exchange it at a local store. Hope this helps prevent someone else from making the same mistake.

This fit my flash perfectly. I have read other reviews that said they had issues with the fit but I have had no such problems. The fit is perfect and it makes very nice diffused light and is very simple and effective.


5 out of 5 stars No more shadows   June 9, 2008
My wife and I took a cap and gown protrait. Using the diffuser and a off-camera flash bracket, there were not shadows behind the subject. No more index cards and rubber bands.
