 Great buy August 1, 2008
I bought the Sto-Fen OMEW Omni-Bounce Diffuser when I bought the Canon 430EX Speedlite for my Canon 40D last week. I have tried it out in all lighting conditions and have to say its a works great. Most flash's I have seen on other peoples cameras has Velcro to hold their diffuser on top of the flash. After reading all reviews on here and on other diffuser products I knew this was the one to get. It fits perfectly, is not lose and will not fall off! I took it off several times and the shape always stayed the same. I had read that some diffusers after time lose their shape so this was a real factor in my decision to buy it. It came as a great bundle with the 430EX Speedlight so if you are going to buy the flash might as well spend 10.00 extra and get the diffuser with it.
 Helps but dont expect completely different light July 21, 2008
This little plastic box sticks well on the 430 EX and doesnt fall if one pushes it well (it doesnt need much force for that to happen). I was shooting with a wide angle lens and this box helped me with the extra room I needed to fill, it even works when the integrated diffuser plastic of the lens is pulled and put into place, although it is a little bit forced to fit.
For the price its very convenient, I highly recommend...

Does what it says. Inexpensive and great for price. For Pro must have thing with external flash.
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.
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.
