Digital camera reviews of STO-FEN Omni-Bounce EW Flash Diffuser for Canon 430EX & II and Sony HVL-F43AM
Digital camera Review: Almost as good as the more expensive Gary Fong
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.Digital camera Review: Amazon is missing some important info in the product description!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was sent the wrong product but I will not give Sto-fen a lower score because of this. I blame Amazon for not making it clear on their website. Diffusers are different sizes. ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL!
This is in the product description for this diffuser...
Product Description
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. 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.
WHERE DOES IT SAY THIS IS SPECIFICALLY FOR THE 430ex? I now have a 15 dollar paper weight because Amazon (ADORAMA) sent me the wrong diffuser. Since it is such a low cost item it would be silly to send it back and pay shipping charges.
EVERYONE BEWARE. Make sure you are getting the diffuser that fits your flash. I will be taping mine on until the correct one comes in the mail.
Digital camera Review: Awesome!
Summary: 5 Stars
It made a huge difference in my photos! Its a small part but makes a big difference.. I am happy with the investment!Digital camera Review: Beautiful Light
Summary: 5 Stars
This fit my flash perfectly. I have read other reviews that said they had issues with the fit but I have had no such problems. The fit is perfect and it makes very nice diffused light and is very simple and effective.Digital camera Review: Best for the money
Summary: 5 Stars
I found the Omni-bounce provides very even lighting. It's much more so when bouncing the flash off the ceiling. I thought my 430EX when bounced off the ceiling did very well, but when the flash was fitted with this cheapo piece of plastic I was pleasantly surprised. Some say it is over priced, and yea for what it is, yes it is, but for what it does, it's more than worth the money. It's still about the cheapest thing you'll have in your gear bag. It fits a little loose, but I'll work around that.
