Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of HDE SB-430 Flash Bounce Cap Diffuser

Customer Review: Good diffuser, a tad losse fit
Summary: 4 Stars

This product is a good option and has the exact same diffusing characteristics as the Sto-Fen one. We made test shots with both and have found that the Sto-Fen was a bit more red-yellowish, the SBM one (this product) has a more natural-to-slightly-bluish tint, but nothing that cannot be overcome by White Balance (the difference is very subtle).

The Sto-Fen is much thicker and, therefore, we believed the light might be diffused differently. It isn't. We would not have been able tell one from the other had it not been for the slightly different tint.

Just to get this clear for other customers: the 430EX version of this diffuser fits perfectly both the 430EX and 430EX II, but, since the design of the flash is not symmetric, you need to put the curved part of the diffuser to the upper part of the flash.

That said, I agree with other reviewers that it fits a bit loose and, therefore, is prone to accidental falloffs. My experience was that the Sto-fen product was exactly the same though, hence our need to purchase a new one, as the old Sto-fen fell from the flash.

So, to sum it up:
- Great Quality
- Slightly loose fit.

Hope this helps others.

Description of HDE SB-430 Flash Bounce Cap Diffuser

Controlling the light in a photo can be tricky -- first you need a flash to illuminate the subject, but then you get the harsh lighting that a flash unit creates. Soften the look with a diffuser. This cap diffuser fits onto Canon 430 EX Speedlite Flash units to create softer shadows and overall lighting. It's a perfect accessory for taking portraits, wedding shots, and anywhere you want softer light effects and less contrast from sharp shadows. Simply fit the diffuser over your flash unit and you're ready to go-- no need to figure out where to bounce the flash off of!
Please note, this product is not manufactured by Canon.
