Does not fit Nikon SB600 or SB800
By MSBVerified Reviewer from NYC on 5/29/2011

Durable

General Use

Was this a gift?:
No
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Lumiquest LumiQuest Snoot:

Well made and durable, but the flaps are too big for the snoot to fit on the Nikon SB-600 or SB-800. So instead, I use it on an off brand flash with a large head that can accommodate the design of the snoot. Not what I had in mind, but not a total waste.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Lumiquest LumiQuest Snoot:

The main thing is that it doesn't fit Nikon speedlights very well at all. The
flaps used to attach it to the flash are to big and at best are awkward to use.
For a company that charges a lot for it's products, you would think they
would have put a little more thought into this product.

 
Lightweight wonder boosts flash output!

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Lumiquest LumiQuest Snoot:

I use the "Snoot" when I'm photographing birds and need concentrated fill light. The "Snoot" boosts flash output and has helped bring out details on birds up to 60 ft distance. It has been helpful to obtain images of birds for ID and for 'record' images even on dark, low contrast, heavily overcast days. I like its light weight, and folding design, as it fits nicely into my belt pouch. I even bought the velcro strap accessory which makes it easier to attach the snoot to my flash (no permanent gluing of strips to the flash is nice as well). Can't think of anything bad to say about the product.

Comments about Lumiquest LumiQuest Snoot:

It does not fit well on Nikon flashes. It is not easy to aim and can go out of aim easy.
