 Works great December 27, 2006
5 out of 10 found this review helpful
This is really good....though I am still curious how it can cost so much for such a simple plastic part. More for the less bells and whistles flash than the high end ones that have such goodies in the flash head. I don't use it so much anymore than I did on the lesser Canon flash I had.
Diffused Light Is Usually More Flattering May 10, 2006

I use this little gadget mainly for macro and portrait work. When you have it on the light emitting from the flash is diffused which gives you a more flattering less contrasty light to illuminate your subjects with. Unless you are going for a very shadowy, high-contrast, image this diffuser can save the day. It is very light weight and easy to pack in small places, so you should never have a good reason to leave it behind. Sometimes it is the simple things that make the biggest difference in a photo, and using this can defiantly make very noticeable differences.

...in that it diffuses the light energy of the flash in different directions, essentially turning the flash into a point light source. The light going off in different directions then bounces off nearby objects to fill in the shadow areas on the subject, making for a more pleasing softer look, especially on people.
Note of caution: because this device diffuses the light from the flash, it takes much more energy per flash. Using the Stofen will drain your battery much quicker (about 4X in my experience) and it takes the flash much longer to fully charge after each shot, say 8-10 seconds vs 2-3s. Always keep a spare set of flash batteries with you.
Another note...because it requires bouncing light of nearby objects to be effective, using this outdoors is not recommended. You're better off removing the omni-bounce and aiming the flash directly at the subject (and living with the harsh lighting).

This seemingly simple piece of molded plastic was recommended to me by a professional photographer. Basically it's the shape of an open box that slides firmly onto the flash. It is small and sturdy enough to stash in your camera bag without worrying about damage. When used the light disperses more evenly and is less harsh on the subject being photographed.
The white box is for general use. Also available are the green Omni-bounce for florescent lighting and the gold Omni-bounce for a warming effect.
PROS:
Inexpensive solution for better flash photography.
A quality product that works.
CONS:
None
