It's OK. A little overpriced, perhaps. It is a quick and easy way of getting reasonably "shadowless" flash lighting. You'll have to boost the output by maybe 2/3 stop. I'm considering trying the "clear" version. Ocassionally, the "cloud" is a little too warm/soft.

bad choice

the sto-fen omni bounce that i have for my 420 work better and gives mmore consistent results. light loss was a major factor. the 'chrome dome was really dissappointing, the 'kicker' didn't do anything.

Great tool

A convenient way to get nice lighting in a fluid environment. Too bad the new mounting base became available two weeks after I purchased.

About Gary Fong C4 Cloud Lightsphere II Kit, Inverted Dome

This is a flexible, Opaque Vinyl diffuser with an internal snap on dome. Designed to fit a select group of flashes (see list of flashes below)
The inside of the Lightsphere is completely textured to make the light dispersion even more "soft" than it would be otherwise!

The new cloud colored Lightsphere provides the warmest softest light possible from your on-camera flash Studio quality light, that you can carry in your gear bag, makes the Cloud Lightsphere the perfect diffuser for portrait photographers and wedding photojournalists. This soft flattering light is the same light you are accustomed to finding in your studio when using a softbox, Calumet panel or large umbrella. If you shoot outside of your studio - you will love the NEW Cloud Lightsphere.

The inverted dome allows you to softly diffuseyou will love the NEW Cloud soft source without creating flare on the front of your lens.

The C4 Lightsphere II fits the following flashes

•Canon 580EX & 430EZ
• Sony HVL-F32X
• Vivitar 730AF

ChromeDome
The ChromeDome Increases light output dramatically while still keeping the diffusion properties. You will have up to double the power and efficiency, but the look will be identical. The ChromeDome was made for the Lightsphere Cloud Model only - it does not work effectively with the clear model.

There is an open top to allow clear light to hit the ceiling. A chrome-plated kicker panel blows light forward, while the inverted bowl blasts more light into the bowl, brightening the bowl.

Amberdome
Instantly warms up your images in coll situations for example Outdoors at dusk or early morning Outdoors in Open Shade (set camera to auto-white balance) Interiors with tungsten lighting (set camera WB to "tungsten" setting) Shooting sunsets with the sun at your subject's back.
