Questions & Answers

Shopper : Will this fit the newer multi interface shoe Sony HVL-43M?
Bruce B : can you recommend a entry level, mid range & top line defuser for a novice, using a Canon Rebel T3I & a Sunpak DigiFlash 3000 ?MARYEA C : The Sto-Fen products should satisfy most of your needs as a diffuser. I also use it on my hotshot flashes behind umbrellas for an added layer of diffision. You may also look at the Lumiquest product line, which I like for photographing people with on-axis flashERIC P : The Sto-Fen omni-bounce has worked well with my Canon 430EX II. Try one that fits the Sunpak 3000.
Bruce B : Can you tell if this will fit a Sunpak DigiFlash 3000 for Canon DSLR Rebel T3I ?

Good diffuser for your buck

Although I wasn't able to use it on my flash given it did not fit, the material seems better than pictured. it is fairly moldable and durable at the same time

The Sto-Fen Omini-bounce does the job

The Sto-Fen Omini-bounce does the job of evening out the light which helps a lot. I used this before with another flash years ago. I shot pictures during the Holy Thursday and Easter services and and shown there is not hot spot. This helps also in editing spending lot last time correcting the lighting situation.

The ordering process was simple and easy

I needed to replace my bounce flash diffusers. The ordering process was simple and easy, the price highly competetive, and shipping and delivery was very fast.

Can't live without it!

This has to be hands down the biggest bang for the buck in improving flash picture quality. Gives very soft, diffused light, and makes it much easier to seemlessly balance fill flash with existing light. This diffuser has been on my flash 99+ % of the time since I bought it! The image crop shows how well the diffuser works.

The got to get flash accessory

Simple and cheap BUT this will make your indoor flash pictures look much more natural. Harsh shadows will be a thing of the past, candid portraits are much more flattering - just from a simple piece of plastic - WELL WORTH THE MONEY!

Great Value for Money

I use the Gary Fong Light sphere most of the time and this isn't quite on that level. However, for 1/6 the price and 1/4 the size I get great results! I just keep this in my bag just in case and it works great on the spot!

Adds smooth light

Performs very well for the intended use. Adds smooth light to indoor subjects when flash is left at an incline (45 degrees). Has no impact if flash is fired directly or outdoors (only reduces flash intensity).

omni bounce diffuser

This'll help a little late until you get a softbox, or learn to deftly use the manual controls on your flash.

Simple and effective

This is a simple yet effective diffuser for my Canon 430 ex II Speedlite external flash. It fits well and does the job by softening the light produced by the flash. The only "con", which isn't really a con of the Sto-Fen, is that the Canon Speedlite case isn't large enough to fit the flash and the diffuser.

Omni-Bounce for Canon 430EX

I use the bounce for portrait shots indoors and outdoors. The Sto-Fen diffuses the light and reduces the harshness of the flash on faces.

Sto-Fen Omni-Bounce for Canon 430EX II

I am a professional photographer and the one thing missing in my bag was a flash difusser. I have always wanted a Gary Fong Diffuser but am very detailed about reviewing products. After reviewing the Fong and the Sto-Fen, I found that they pretty much worked the same and that the Sto-Fen "looked" more prefessional and less like having a bulky piece of tupperware on your flash. I also read alot of complaints about how the top to the Fong would fall off, the bulkiness of the diffuser and how you could not alter the direction of the flash, ever. I decided to go with the Sto-Fen and am so glad I did. The diffuser is custom made to fit this particular flash so it does not fall off yet is easy to remove. The diffuser gives a nice finish to the photos like I desired getting rid of any harsh or white-out lighting from a direct flash. I highly recommend this diffuser to anyone looking to add to their bag. Have fun!

Nice add-on for my flash

I use this for direct flash shots for family portraits. It gives me what I need since it does not create that harsh look from the flash. No complains about it.

Indispensible accesory

By Stevied91

Installing the Omni-bounce is 2 step process: 1. Open the package. 2. Slide it over the flash unit. That's it! Greatly difuses the light, reducing the harshness of flash only. Can be used straight on, but is at its best in the bounce position as you get some light going for the bounce, and some difusing straight towards your subject for more even lighting from just one light source. Pros: Inexpensive, simple, lightweight, almost idiot proof, huge improve in the quality of the light outpu...

The Omni-Bounce creates a Diffused Bare Bulb Effect. Giving even coverage across the entire frame, with lenses from 15mm to 200mm in the 35mm format. (And equal in other formats as well.) The Omni-Bounce is easy to use and goes onto and off of your flash in seconds with custom fitting, except UNI, and No Velcro. Designed for years of service with out the bulk of some other Diffusers, it is small enough to fit easily into your gadget bag or pocket.
