Although it works, NOT worth the money
When I first started out in photography, I saw this on a friend's camera and it seemed to work wonders. I was sold. With little or no research, and dreams of creating awesome images, I purchased one. Don't get me wrong, it works. But so does a $5 piece of plastic, or a bed sheet, or a regular dome diffuser.A few years later, I know what I'm doing now, and I would totally not recommend this to anybody. It's overpriced opaque plastic. Gary Fong is a master marketer and successful and probably has boat loads of cash now. Good for him. But for us, I 100% whole heartedly think that we can be wiser with our hard earned cash. Look on [...] for the exact same items that work in the exact same way for fractions of the price. Seriously, if you got one, look at the quality of the material and imagine how much it actually costs per piece to crank these out in a factory somewhere.I'm passionate enough about not buying this product that I would write a review about this 2 years later.Sorry but I have to voice my honest critique. The only good thing I can say is that it works... but I can get the same results with a 90% to 95% savings.Oh yeah and mine started falling apart 1 month into using it.

Love Gary Fong
I love Gary Fong products. His webiste is my new favorite. He explains uses of his product perfectly. He is great. I love the puffer too.

This is the one we've all waited for! If you have one of these and don't like it, that is only because you have not discovered the hundreds of uses this masterpiece holds within. Seriously though, this so much more than a diffuser, my word fot it would be a light sculpter! Excellent Product!

Excellent light diffusion!
This diffuses the light really well and is even effective for group shots. The light is evenly diffused, even close up, including macro. Eliminates hard shadows, vignetting, and I have yet to get red-eye.
It is great for weddings, portraits, group shots, backlit subjects, dark environments, fashion, and macro.
The velcro strap holds the unit very firmly. Normal bumps and dings don't budge it and the strap does not gradually come loose.
It fits 430EX and even the 580EX flashes alike. So, although your flash might change, you can use the same diffuser.
