I have used many small flash diffusers this is the best ever! It creates a soft fill perfect for balancing available light. It creates a nice round catchlight. The only thing it isn't is compact, but I will take the trade off for such a useful light shaping tool.

For its small size if used close and with a dome diffuser and diffusion cover the quality of light is very nice. The grids are a very good addition. However the loss in stops needs to be considered, Over all a good product,

Beauty Dish itself is OK but the concept of a beauty dish on a speedlight is pretty silly to begin with. I got this to use in combination with the accessory grid for a somewhat softer, directional light rather than as a singular modifier but the grids simply fall out. They make a nice sound when they hit the floor but chasing them as they roll around isn't exactly fun. Some duct tape on the edges provides enough friction to hold them in but anytime you need to use tape to get a new product to work properly you know you have a bad design. That said, the light is pretty good from the modifier and it does attach nicely to an SB 910.

It would be useful if a guide to explain the effects of the filters were included

I have just received the 6" beauty dish to use with my SB910. It is well built, easy to pack, quick to attach to the flash and will not fall off during use. I have used it as a fill light for portraits. I look forward to exploring various uses along with its accessory colored filters and grids.

I find this product great for quick portraits as well as street photography.

I use for Portraits and some events. I like the soft light, but it does fall off my flash and has become quite dented. The accessory gels break easily when the unit hits the ground. Once broken, they are unusable.

An amazing light former, great for its size, great lighting for portraits if held close

It is a little small making which makes the light a bit harsh. Clever, though & looks better than a DYI (if that matters to you)

I use beauty dish and accessories for several things including portraits, products and flowers. Makes good images better...

Unfortunately the heads on Canon Speedlites are different sized so I have trouble fitting on one of the older Speedlites I have

If you know how to set your ISO, f-stop, shutter stop and have a good flash, then this set-up is for you. It is wonderfully portable and gives a beautiful concentration of light. Buy the grids in order to have more options. The colored gels are junk, but the grids are worth buying.If you want to see an example of what this flash can do, Look here:[@]

Well constructed, the bowl is made of metal straps on like the Gary Fong diffuser but no light is wasted toward the back. Bulky but that's OK. I plan to get another for my 430EX.

The "Q" Series Beauty Dish Reflector measures 6" in diameter and comes with a silver deflector panel. It redirects the bounced, rectangular output of a standard shoe flash into a more diffused, flattering pattern of light. Light emitted using the Beauty Dish Reflector is soft and shadowless. Just like the name implies the result is similar to using a studio beauty dish reflector.
The Beauty Dish is secured to the flash with a velcro strap.
Available in "A" and "B" series. Size "A", Fits: Canon 580EX, 580EXII, 550EX, 540EX, Nikon SB900, Metz 40MZ2, 54MZ3, MZ 440AF, MZ AF1, Sigma EF-500DG Super, ST Sunpak 2000DZ, 266D,, Vivitar 2500, 273, 3500, 850AF, Pentax AF-360, AF-540
