I recently bough this for my Fuji EF-42 and and fit pretty snug but good! It does significantly improve the quality of light for how much it's worth! Overall I am very pleased with this diffuser and it never leaves the flash itself.

This flash diffuser perfectly complements Nikon's TTL fill flash feature. Shadows are dramatically reduced while the primary subject is accurately exposed, regardless of how bright the background may be. Since a flash diffuser is a standard accessory in most photographers' bags, a strong case could be made for Nikon to include one with the original flash.

Fit my flash perfectly and provides the diffusion to combat the harshness when using flash for closeups, portraits and etc

The Omni-Bounce fit my Nikon SB600 like a glove and it was even possible to store it on the flash in the Nikon case. Light output is quite uniform and diffused as intended. Best [$] you can spend to improve the quality of your flash photography.

This diffuser works like a charm! Will soften and evenly distribute light.

A quick read of the instructions suggesting that your flash head be tilted to a 45 degree angle for best results, push the Sto-Fen in place and start taking photos. Great for general photography, indoor quick snap portraits and fill flash, this couldn't work better. I have found Sto-Fen products work much better than the supplied (With some Nikon flash units) manufactures flash adapters.

Got tired of cutting up milk jugs. This product is very easy to use and really helps to soften the harsh glare of my SB600 flash. I don't always have a low ceiling to bounce off of, or I'm simply outdoors and need a little fill flash. If my situation changes, it is easy to slip off and stick in my pocket.

This works pretty well when no other options are available. However it is not a replacement for proper bounce flash techniques which generally yield the best results. It seems to provide the best results when the built in wide angle flash adapter is folded down over the flash head, then place the omni bounce on the flash.

Used a Lumiquest pocket bouncer which is a lot bulkier before I got the Stofen with my D90. The Stofen lighting was much harsher than the Lumiquest no matter how I adjusted the camera or lighting settings or angle of my sb600 flash. Very unobtrusive and convenient and better than no diffuser at all.

i read several reviews on diffusers and thought this would be the best one on making the flash softer. while it may be beneficial for areas where you cannot bounce light, in a room that you can bounce, i would do w/o. it's not softer..almost think it's harsher. just my opinion though.

I just set and forget. It only takes a second to attach the Omni-Bounce and your ready to go. The result is photos with a general soft lighting (like a bounce flash.) I find that this soft lighting is flattering for group shots and portraits. It's like an available light photo, with perfect color balance.

This works almost as well as the Gary Fong Lightsphere for my applications. Much easier to carry and stays on my flash much better though!

Works exactly as promised, and as needed: it softens the light from your external flash and provides an even fill and distribution of light. Especially useful for portraits to avoid those unflattering shadows on the face. And at this price, there is no excuse for not having one. Highly recommended.

I use this diffuser on my Nikon SB 600. What a difference. The images look more like available light / natural light was used instead of a "harsh" flash. This makes a huge difference at indoor parties / gatherings where available light is not sufficient. No complaints! Price, simplicity of use and consistent output are rock solid.

This product does exactly what the ads say - it's a great addition to my camera bag.

This works great for indoor use, but don't think of using it out-door or when you don't have walls/roof to bounce off. Put two flashes on stands, direction upwards + this diffusor, and you have beautiful soft light for small groups/portraits.

This is a great product, it works for portraits, and Macro photography. It takes out hot spots and glare. Easy to add to my SB-6000 flash.

I was amazed how well it works. I bought an off-brand one from a camera store in town that would slip off the flash. Had to use sandpaper to roughen it up so it wouldn't slip. Lost that one, bought this, and it works much better. Doesn't slip.

Excellent for portraits and Night/Event Photography. Only draw back is that it cannot do remote fire...

I have an SB800 and SB900 and have diffusers for each. When I bought my SB600 I needed one for it as well. I found other brands but most complained about poor fit. This one fits great. Very happy with the results. If you have an SB600, you need this diffuser.

I need more practice with the device. I just did some nominal experimentation. Haven't used it in a real application yet. I need an opportunity to do some portraiture before I can evaluate it fully.

Joe

2009-06-29T21:00:00

It works. It's simple. It's light. It's not in the way. It just works. It softens the flash, especially when engaging in portraitry.

This is super easy to put on your flash. It really seems to even out the lighting in most pictures. I'm still doing some tests with it. You can definitely shoot without it, but shooting with it (in the right condition) will improve the quality of lighting in your picture.

A must have when bounce flash can not be achieved, for single or multi-flash setup.

I just purchased this product, via Adorama, through a well-known site, along with the green and gold/amber diffusors made by Sto-fen. All of them work perfectly under the conditions for which each is suited. It is amazing how much softer the lighting is, and how the light is dispersed so much more evenly and wider with this diffusor. Playing around with the vertical/horizontal angles with the Nikon SB-600 Speedlight yields many interesting and fine lighting compositions in each picture. Nikon should really consider adding a few bucks to the SB-600 and include all three diffusors. For the hobbyist/enthusiast, it is a very simple and easy solution to creating a better picture both indoors and outdoors. I have even used it in macro photography and found these diffusors to lend a nice ambiance to the subject. Experiment, play with it; but, mostly just have fun with all the possibilities from such a simple piece of plastic.
