Digital camera reviews of STO-FEN Omni-Bounce EW Flash Diffuser for Canon 430EX & II and Sony HVL-F43AM
Digital camera Review: Does what it's meant to do.
Summary: 4 Stars
This diffuser works fine with my 430EX II speedlight. It's not meant to be an easy button for flash photography, you still need to understand how to use it/the flash. But it most certainly helps spread the light more evenly and soften shadows. It fits snug onto the flash and doesn't fall off at all, or add much extra bulk to the flash.Digital camera Review: Every Camera Bag Should Have This!
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently bought another Canon Speedlite 430EX II for my Canon 40D. I am not a huge fan of flash photos, so I wanted a diffuser to help soften the light output of the flash, but with it still being compact enough to easily carry in your camera bag. I found this Sto-Fen on Amazon and it got really good reviews, so I thought I would give it a shot since it only cost about $12 with shipping. I am really glad I did! It was exactly what I was looking for.
This is in no way a replacement to bounce flash, but it helps soften the flash output in instances where bounce isn't possible. It is super compact compared to other options out there, which to me was one of the biggest pluses to this diffuser. I was a bit bummed that my flash wouldn't fit in its case with the diffuser still on it, but not a huge drawback. I just keep the flash directly in my camera case without it being in the flash case now.
I will definitely buy this diffuser again if I ever need another one!
Digital camera Review: Everyone said it already..
Summary: 5 Stars
This thing is just great for diffusing your flash. Produces a soft look to your photos - can't even fully describe how much it really improves your flash! Just remember that if you're taking larger group shots at a small distance, this will diffuse your flash to the point where you won't get enough light on your subjects!Digital camera 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.
Digital camera 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.
