Gary Fong Puffer Pop Up Flash Diffuser

I walked into Ritz camera yesterday looking for a lighting kit. After speaking to the sales person about what I wanted to shoot, he recommended I try the Puffer. As soon as I took a few portraits of my wife, I noticed a difference. I can get very close now without worrying about flash burn on the face. The difference is night and day. Definately worth the money!

I was expecting more after reading the reviews here. The piece deflects the flash back too much, so if your eye isn't deep into the viewfinder, you get a nice bright flash in your eyeball. The item does not do a great job at spreading the light throughout the entire frame. It does soften the light, but the light's still concentrated to a certain area. I guess I'm just spoiled by an external flash.

This was recommended to me by my local camera shop. I would give it a 5 star b/c it has made all my portrait pictures look better, but the quality of the build is flimsy & brittle. I wouldn't mind paying a little more for this as long as the brackets are made of metal or a sturdier material than what it's made of now. I'm on my 2nd one, the first one lasted me about 3 months with only weekend use. It's cheap so I dont mind buying..I might actually just make my own bracket. Overall, if you're budget cant afford you a flash or if you want something small & easy to bring around I highly recomend this.

i had picked this defuser over the others that had been offered on amazon. After just playing around with it in my house taking pictures of my family, i am very satisfied with this. It isn't "flimsy", it does take a little bit of pressure to get the parts together, but that also makes sure they won't fall apart halfway through a shoot. The proof of the product is in the prints makes the skin tone of poeple and the color of objects more accurate and less washed out.

this worked great but the brittle plastic broke the first time I gently bumped it while it was on the hot shoe. no way to glue, it splintered. pretty much a waste of money.
