 Speedlight Diffuser February 9, 2008
This simple piece of plastic does wonders in removing shadows in flash photography. To properly adjust for this device make sure you open about two stops when shooting manually. The part is ordered specifically for the Speedlight model you own. It remains securily in place over the flash front without the use of other aids. It is easy to install and remove.
 Works well, but too expensive. February 5, 2008

I have no complaints about the functionality of this diffuser. It does a very nice job of softening and controling light from my Canon flash. Unlike one of the reviewers above, I found that it fits the flash perfectly: it's easy to slip on, but maintains enough friction that it will not easily fall off without purposeful pulling. My only complaint is that this plain piece of flimsy plastic, without any complications that would make manufacture difficult, costs $9, and then requires another $7 of shipping. It's just overpriced. I suppose I shouldn't complain since it increases the functionality of a $400 flash, but it is, afterall, just a flimsy piece of plastic.
Wait just a second... January 13, 2008
Yes this is a flash diffuser, and it will do what its advertised to do. But make sure that before you spend $20 on a piece of plastic, you have thoroughly explored the uses of "hard light" (flash without a diffuser). You can obtain amazing lighting by bouncing your flash and such. I often prefer not to use this, especially outside as it cuts the amount of light produced by the flash considerably. I use this product mostly for direct flash or if the room is really small, and even bouncing the flash creates too much light. My next suggestion after learning to use "hard light," is to make one out of an empty tuperware container. It works just as well and you can see if you actually like using a diffuser. After all this if you find yourself still wanting one then get one, it fits nicely and works well. The only reason I give this 3 stars is that is very very expensive for what it is, and there are a lot of alternatives provided you dont mind a DIY type of deal, and that you dont need to look super professional.
Somebody is getting rich off these! December 31, 2007

Simple, effective, but a bit overpriced. I can't imagine these things costing more than pennies to manufacture once the molds are created. Why are they so expensive? Still, a great product and works well.
Great companion for your flash December 8, 2007

I bought this item thanks to a recommendation from the Amazon site after my flash purchase (Canon 430EX). I am quite pleased with it. It 'softens' what would otherwise be very contrasty shots. I find that it is sometimes necessary to compensate for the reduction in direct light on more distant subjects with the flash and or the exposure (with auto exposure settings on the camera).
