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!
By Network GeekVerified Purchaser from Houston, TX on 8/24/2008
Pros:
Consistent Output, Easily Interchangeable, Good value, Lightweight

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

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!

 
Good as it gets.
By PrzemekVerified Purchaser from Boston, MA on 8/24/2008
Pros:
Consistent Output, Lightweight
Cons:
none
Best Uses:
Indoor flash photography
Describe Yourself:
Hobbyist/Enthusiast
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

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.

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

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.

Pros:
Durable, Lightweight, loose fit
Best Uses:
General Use, Portraits
Describe Yourself:

Bottom Line:

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

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.

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.
