I use this product when shooting pictures indoors and if I need to take portraits at night outside. Great diffusing and bounce flash effect.

 
Only if it comes with the kit
By PhilVerified Purchaser from Hillsboro, OR on 3/6/2008
Pros:
Cost
Cons:
Fitment
Describe Yourself:
Getting started
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

This came with the 580EXII kit that I ordered. Very basic molded plastic. Doesn't fit over the flash head great. I would expect a better fit. When on, I am always worried it will fall off, so I am constantly fussing with it. Since it came with the kit, it was worth getting to me. I would likely not recommend buying this alone, but this is the only diffuser I have experienced thus far.

Works nicely, but has a tendency to fall
By photographyLAPVerified Purchaser from CT on 9/26/2007
Pros:
Softens Light
Cons:
falls off flash
Describe Yourself:
Professional
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I guess it would be OK if your just taking a couple shoots. But for aggressive, fast pace shooting any big movement and it pops off.

 
Cheap product
By CheyVerified Reviewer from Newnan, GA on 8/7/2007
Describe Yourself:
Semi-Pro
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I bought this diffuser for my 580EX flash because I thought it was the same as the ones other professionals I've worked with use. However, it loosely fits the flash & VERY easily falls off. Don't buy this brand unless you want to tape it down.
