I use this all the time on my bare flash unless i'm using a softbox or a diffusion screen or want harsher light. Always use it for events and anytime i need to travel light and can't bring all my lighting gear. I'd say this is a must have product.

Like everyone else has said, this is really a flimsy piece of plastic that is overpriced. I'm surprised Nikon doesn't include one with the SB-600. With that being said, I would pay it again if I ever lost or broke this one. It beats carrying an umbrella everywhere.

A great little product, it works as described. I really can't find anything negative to say about it. If you've got a SB600 and need a diffuser, buy this product!
Great addition to the bag

Glad to have this back on a flash now that I've moved over to digital. While not as large as a Gary Fong Lightsphere, it does the trick at less than half the price. A must have!
Impressive addition to my flash !

Everytime I take pictures, I bring a flash.
Everytime I have a flash, I bring a Sto-fen.
I have several of these in my kit. One for each flash that may be fired. They are an excellent, low cost, easy to use and durable light modifier. Gone are the days of overwhelming glare, if you can't bounce the light, pop on a sto-fen and shoot away.
This little cover has saved more pictures in more places than anything else I own. I would recommended it to anyone who uses a compatible flash. It's the lightest, smallest, most durable and praticle accessory you can buy to improve your pictures.

I found the SB-600 scratches easy (the screen, AF light cover) but other than that it is amazing. I would definitely recommend it to anyone (using Nikon).
Coupling the SB-600 with the SC-28/29 TTL cord can result in very creative shots that I wouldn't have been able to do before.

Works great, More filling

I use this product in all phases of my photography. It has all but eliminated red eye in my photographs, and softens and evens out the harsh light normally associated with flash photography. It works so well I never take it off my flash. It dosen't matter if I'm shooting a Wakeboarding event, a Dark Club, or a Models Portfolio. Indoors or out, I use it everytime I use a flash.

Must have accessory for Nikon SB-600
By Jimmy
from Carrollton, VA on 11/24/2006
Pros:
High quality feel, Secure fit, Softens Light
I purchased this to go with my SB-600 and I find that it says on my flash almost all the time. It is compact in size and it only protrudes from the flash about 3/4 of an inch. It is extremely lightweight and unobtrusive. I would highly recommend this item to go with any flash. A must have flash accessory!
