 Does a very good job and not cumbersome May 27, 2008
This a fine way to create soft light. It is better than just bouncing off the ceiling - though that is better than straight-on flash.
Follow the directions and point the flash head straight up so that only some light diffused though the front and light diffused from the ceiling lights up your subjects. When shooting things more at a distance, point it slightly forward to get more light on them.
Note - I also purchased the "Fong Dong". That thing looks wierd (people describe it as a tupperware bowl on your flash), and it is cumbesome.
I keep this attachment permanently on my flash unit. Note - I try not to shoot with flash using fast primes, but when necessary to use flash, this really helps.
What can you say? It's a Sto-Fen! May 20, 2008
This is the third Sto-Fen I've purchased for hot-shoe flashes I've owned. I've tried the bidding site units which are quite a bit cheaper in price but I've found the Sto-Fen fit and overall finish (it is just plastic, but there is a difference) to be better than the cheaper units. A lot of people make their own diffusers or don't mind using a cheaper unit however, I've found that you generally get what you pay for and although these things can't cost more than a few pennies to make, Sto-Fen at least makes sure the fit is good for each different flash, not too tight or too loose, and they make it easy for you to find the right one for yours.
I need a powerful flash and in close quarters, it can be too bright. Yes, I do use bounce flash as well but the Sto-Fen diffuses the light in all directions so you get a softer direct flash and if bouncing, additional light off the ceiling or wall. If you are looking for a way to fully light a dark room or area but don't want the harshness strong flashes can inflict, get one of these.
So simple, so great May 6, 2008

Unfortunately, I really wanted to try this out so I bought it locally and paid about $30 for it. One of the few things I have in my gear bag that I didn't mind paying so much for. It's great when I don't have anything to bounce my flash off of. Or when I need to fill flash. Everyone should have one.
 Works OK; Loses a LOT of Light May 5, 2008

Not much else to say. The diffuser works OK, but no better than an index card. It also costs a full stop on the flash exposure. Save your money; use a white index card instead.

It works fairly well, I was expecting a little more diffusion from it, but still not too bad of a job.
