Sto-Fen OMEW Omni-Bounce Diffuser

I bought this product on recomendation from a few photographer friends, I like the bare bulb effect, but sometimes it can be a little harsher than just bouncing the light from the ceiling or even using an index card taped to the back of the flash pointed straight up. I will still use it some more to get the feel of it, but I think if given the choice to do it again, I probably wouldn't buy it.

I have two of this item, one for my 430EX and the other for my 580EXII. The model for 430EX fits very well but the model for 580EXII fit too tight, very hard to insert and remove. Results are just ok. Not impressive but it is better than direct flash. Works very well on rooms small/medium, but not very well on very big ones, because flash light is not power enough even on the 580EXII.

I personally think it is very userful, but price is little over. Could not find a better price.

El producto reune las caracteristicas necesarias, lo mas importante es su propiedad difusora, misma que si se comporta adecuadamente.
El acabado no es lo último de la moda, pero se acepta..

I tried a Gary Fong Lightsphere before buying the Sto-Fen. The Gary Fong, while it worked well, was big, heavy, and kept falling off my flash, whereas the Sto-Fen is light, convenient, and doesn't fall off or get in my way. I'm very happy with the Sto-Fen. The only thing is that with time (six months???), it doesn't fit quite as tightly as it used to, but it's inexpensive enough that if I need to, I can just buy another one.
