Great Diffusion

This diffuser is the best I've seen. It flows the light throughout the room with excellent results. Much better than direct flash which gives a harsh light. Love the amount of area covered with this diffuser! I only wish I realized when I bought [...]the DVD tutorial was not included as it is directly from Gary himself. I have obviously learned it myself but I was curious about the tutorial offered.

Very good for location photography

Works well for softening pictures without showing much shadow. Works both well either vertical or horazontally. It is a lot less cumbersome than the off camera flip flash.

Great diffuser

This is a wonderful diffuser for the fact that you have 360 degrees of coverage to work with as opposed to the usual straight directional lighting of most of the other products on the market.I bought this model for the extra stop or so of light over the cloud model in dark lit situations.

About Gary Fong P2 Clear Lightsphere II Dome Flash Diff Sys

This is a flexible, totally CLEAR VINYL diffuser with an internal snap on dome. Designed to fit a select group of flashes (see list of flashes below)
The inside of the Lightsphere is completely textured to make the light dispersion even more "soft" than it would be otherwise!

Clear vinyl cuts down on light loss and also gives it a more sleek professional appearance while still delivering the soft diffuse light you demand. This version is designed for fast action, tight spaces and crowds. The new vinyl construction ensures a snug fit on a wide range of flash heads without the need for adaptors. Everything you asked for is finally here!

The inverted dome allows you to softly diffuse direct light with a large, soft source without creating flare on the front of your lens.

The P2 Lightsphere II fits the following flashes

• Canon 299, 540EZ, 550EX
• Minolta 5600
• Pentax AF500FTZ
• Quantaray QTB-7500A, QDC-900/900WA, QTB-9500A
• Sunpak 5000AF, PZ5000
• Vivitar 5200, 600N, DF200

The LightSphere System is also available in non see through Cloud Version
What are the differences between the Lightsphere CLEAR and CLOUD? Which one is better for my situation? Which Lightsphere is best for any given setting is as much a matter of photographer preference and loyalty as anything. Many pros carry both styles in their gear bag for varying lighting situations.

Both Lightspheres provide excellent diffusion and studio quality light from your on-camera flash. Both are made of flexible, premium grade vinyl and include the inverted dome made of hard, translucent plastic.

The Lightsphere-Photojournalist (PJ) is made of soft, transparent vinyl, and currently comes in two colors - CLEAR and CLOUD. The light quality transmitted through the CLEAR is somewhat cooler and a little more contrasty when compared to the CLOUD. The Lightsphere-CLEAR maximizes diffusion while minimizing light loss, allowing it to be used at greater distances. The CLEAR is highly recommended for photojournalistic assignments and general purpose photography.

The Lightsphere-CLOUD creates a more diffuse, softer, and somewhat warmer light. For this reason, it is well suited for "portrait style" lighting situations, where skin tones and flattering light are the primary focus.

Gary recommends, "Choose the CLEAR version for fast action, large groups and dimly lit scenes. Switch to the new CLOUD for the softest, warmest light yet. Great for close-ups, portraits, couples and intimate group shots."

Hint... Gary is IN LOVE with the light he achieves from the CLOUD, it really suits his current lighting style.
