This is a great additional to any hot shoe flash. The Sto-Fen fits perfectly. I even use mine while roaming thru the brush and trees photographing birds! Highly recommend!
Worth the money, and then some!

For the price, this diffuser is hard to beat. It really softens shadows in low light conditions when using the 430. For general portraits, casual pictures at a party, and the like, it's great. And, for the money, it's a really good value!

What a simple and great product. It just beautifully softens the flash light, so your indoor flash photos almost look like shot in natural light. The only downside is that it somewhat reduces the flash output. Highly recommended for all external flash users.
Omni-Bounce is a must have item!

Omni-Bounce for the Canon 430EX Flash is a must have item. Custom fitted so you never have to use Velcro on your flash. For such a simple product it produces just stunning results. This has got to be the one of the best products out there for photography! Don't think about it, just buy one.

Used it a couple of times and liked the effect. It is alright indoors and provides a little better lighting than bounce flash or is great with high ceilings where bounce flash is difficult. I have also got a chance to use it to shoot outdoors and it gives a softer light to the photo than with direct flash. A great little addition to the photo bag.
A Must!! Great Product!!!!

The loose fit could result in lose, but is correctable with self-adhering felt strips or the fuzzy side of valcro stick-on tape.
Great softening for a great price

This product has been wonderful for replacing harsh lighting with soft and subtle smooth surface diffusion. The ability to bounce light and correct drop shadow is excellent. Very easy to remove and restore to flash unit.

Second Sto-Fen Omni-Bounce I have, the first one is for my Canon 199A speedlite. This is the must buy accessory for your camera flashlight.

I was recently shooting indoors at a local historical building and the light was poor at best, so decided to use my speed light with the sto-fen diffuser and I couldn't be happier. No unwanted shadows, even light distribution, it was amazing; I would have paid double for this product. If you don't have one already for your speed light, you need one.
