Digital camera reviews of STO-FEN Omni-Bounce EW Flash Diffuser for Canon 430EX & II and Sony HVL-F43AM
Digital camera Review: Great diffuser. Fits fine
Summary: 5 Stars
Does what its made for. Great diffuser and fits fine.
A must for a flash.
Digital camera 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.
Digital camera Review: Great job for a little piece of plastic
Summary: 5 Stars
You know, it seems so simple. Just pop a piece of plastic over your flash for a diffuser. Well, it works great, does the job, stays in place. Clearly a difference in the portraits I took with and without the diffuser. With the diffuser, much softer light.Digital camera Review: Great little help!
Summary: 5 Stars
This diffuser is wonderful. I like the way it keeps the flash from being so direct and harsh and diffuses the light beautifully. Get one for your Canon 430ex II and you'll be glad you did!Digital camera Review: Great little item for your flash
Summary: 4 Stars
If you have a flash, this or a light sphere is almost a needed item to improve your creative range with your shots. Though, I highly recommend this product over the light sphere, as they both have about the same visual effect, but the light sphere costs dramatically more.
This device fits easily onto your flash and holds tight. No need for ugly tape or sticky velcro pads that look tacky. This thing merges into the form of your flash and looks like it belonged there the whole time. Looks aside, what does it do?
It diffuses your flash's light so you get a softer and more spread-out look to your flash. No more pictures looking like you're shining a spotlight on people. This has a more "natural soft light" look to it. I highly recommend it for indoor use, because you'll want a soft flash with it being the only light source, and the omni-bounce spreads out the light so you are better able to light up the scene and room.
The only downside is that since it is softening the light, you may need to adjust your flash output. You may have to dial up your exposure (meaning slower flash recycle times and faster battery drainage). The tradeoff is irritating sometimes, but well worth it for the improved looks in your photos.
