Customer Review: Useful accessory but a tad expensive
Summary: 4 Stars
The Sto-Fen OMEW Omni-Bounce Diffuser works fairly well as a diffuser. It fits snugly on my Speedlite 430EX-II flash, and has improved my flash photography considerably in certain situations, such as indoors or in confined spaces. Without a diffuser, the flash can sometimes give a very unnatural harsh look. With a diffuser, the light looks softer and more natural. I have found it helpful for outdoor night photos as well to lower the shutter speed to let in more ambient night light (like a city skyline), and use the flash diffuser to get a close photo of someone without the light being overpowering.
It does a very good job of diffusing the light, but I often have to remember to use it when near the subject, and remove it if the subject is further away. My only complaint is the same one that many other reviewers have, it is kind of expensive for a small piece of plastic. All camera gear is already quite expensive, so seems silly that something as simple as this costs $8-10 (plus shipping and handling). There are many online tutorials about creating your own diffusers from milk jugs or other materials, which can save you money if you don't want to spend ten bucks on this. However I think everyone that does a lot of flash photography should get/make a diffuser. They are a very handy accessory.
