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. (And equal in other formats as well.) 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. Designed for years of service with out the bulk of some other Diffusers, it is small enough to fit easily into your gadget bag or pocket.

4 out of 5 stars Doesn't get much use.   March 6, 2010
T. Miley
Had this for several months now and I haven't found many uses for it. Also, mine is a bit too snug for the 580exII. It's sturdy and is undoubtedly better than having no diffuser at all.


5 out of 5 stars Must-have accessory for more natural lighting   February 19, 2010

This diffuser slips easily onto the flash and significantly affects the photo. I find it interesting that it also seems to have an effect on subjects and observers. The simple addition of this product has prompted a significant number of people to comment, "Are you a professional photographer?" or "Who do you work for?" Beyond prompting an interesting response, it has literally allowed me access to areas from which I would otherwise have been excluded, allowing me to get better shots.


5 out of 5 stars Very useful tool   February 9, 2010

I typically like to bounce my light off of a ceiling/wall or more often use natural light, however there are times when the ceiling/wall is too far away and their is not enough light. Those are the times when the Sto-Fen comes into play. It fits very well on my Canon 580ex flash and provides that nice diffuse light that I prefer when taking photos. Yes, it cuts down the output power of the flash, but I can compensate for that and get much better looking lighting this way. As with other photography tools, this is something you can build yourself if you have the time or are handy, however I find it is much easier for me to get this and immediately be able to start taking phots and it wasn't too expensive, unlike other pieces of photography equipment.


4 out of 5 stars Good compact diffuser   February 4, 2010
F. Yeh (Richmond, BC Canada)
It is small and it does the job. I basically leave it on my flash most of the time. However, it is still a relatively small light source, so the light quality will not compare to i.e. a softbox.

This product works great! Easy to install, and great for amateur photographers for diffusing the flash.
