Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of STO-FEN Omni-Bounce EW Flash Diffuser for Canon 430EX & II and Sony HVL-F43AM
Customer Review: Exactly as expected
Summary: 5 Stars
This fits perfectly on my Canon Speedlite 430EX II. It's easy to install/uninstall. Unfortunately, it cannot be left on the flash unit and stored in the case that came with the Speedlite. But that being my only complaint, and a minor one at that, I am very pleased.
This simple device provides more flattering and naturalistic lighting. Used with bouncing techniques, you can really eliminate the harsh blue tones and harsh shadows on your subject.
Customer Review: Perfect little diffuser
Summary: 5 Stars
This little puppy is great especially when you are bouncing the light off of other surfaces (like walls). I did a series of portraits and this diffuser was indispensable to my work. I had not lights (except one overhead fluorescent) and this diffuser did the trick when bounced off a wall. It didn't leave harsh shadows and provided amazing detail.

Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this to see how well it performs against the larger and more expensive Gary Fong's Lightsphere (which I used and loved). Although this yielded slightly harsher flash, I give it a 5 because of the cost savings and the space savings. The Lightsphere from Gary Fong was just huge and costs many times or more (I don't have the collapsible, so don't know how much space may be saved with this version). I'd recommend this one.Customer Review: Exactly what it claims to be
Summary: 5 Stars
I use this diffuser with a Canon Speedlite 430EX-II flash. It slips onto the flash easily and fits tightly enough to stay on securely. It does a decent job of spreading the light around, allowing the flash to illuminate the scene without creating harsh shadows. It works best if the flash is not pointed directly at the subject; tilt it up or turn it to the side a bit, depending on where you want the strongest light to come from.Customer Review: Great for non-sophisticated photographer
Summary: 5 Stars
I use this with the Canon Speedlite 430EX II Flash for Canon Digital SLR Cameras and it works very well for close-up shots or when I need diffused light. I'm not a sophisticated photographer, but it's easy to slide it on the flash, taken some pictures and see how they look, then make adjustments. No issues and really makes some pictures look better... definitely worth getting one if you don't have one.
