Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of STO-FEN Omni-Bounce EW Flash Diffuser for Canon 430EX & II and Sony HVL-F43AM
Customer Review: Exactly as expected
Summary: 5 Stars
This fits perfectly on my Canon Speedlite 430EX II. It's easy to install/uninstall. Unfortunately, it cannot be left on the flash unit and stored in the case that came with the Speedlite. But that being my only complaint, and a minor one at that, I am very pleased.
This simple device provides more flattering and naturalistic lighting. Used with bouncing techniques, you can really eliminate the harsh blue tones and harsh shadows on your subject.
Customer Review: Pretty neat little gadget. Comes in handy sometimes.
Summary: 4 Stars
OK, it's not the end all answer to all your flash shots.
It definitely evens things out on those normal, in house shots assuming an average ceiling height of 7.5' to 10'. I've used it with my 10-20mm and with the 18-125mm lens. I'd say best used from 10 to 70mm. I use it at 45 degree up angle.
Great for the family gatherings, Christmas party, etc.
For the price this gadget is a winner and stays in my main camera bag.
Customer Review: Helps but dont expect completely different light
Summary: 4 Stars
This little plastic box sticks well on the 430 EX and doesnt fall if one pushes it well (it doesnt need much force for that to happen). I was shooting with a wide angle lens and this box helped me with the extra room I needed to fill, it even works when the integrated diffuser plastic of the lens is pulled and put into place, although it is a little bit forced to fit.
For the price its very convenient, I highly recommend...
Customer Review: Perfect little diffuser
Summary: 5 Stars
This little puppy is great especially when you are bouncing the light off of other surfaces (like walls). I did a series of portraits and this diffuser was indispensable to my work. I had not lights (except one overhead fluorescent) and this diffuser did the trick when bounced off a wall. It didn't leave harsh shadows and provided amazing detail. You can see the portraits at http://www.haunsinafrica.com/slideshows/it-pains-o-why/Customer Review: Fits too loosely
Summary: 1 Stars
I'm going to have to give this a 1-star. I just received it and haven't taken a single photo yet. But I can already tell I'm going to have a frustrating time with it falling off of my 430EX-II. Judging from other reviews, I would have to say that sto-fen has a problem with their manufacturing; some fit well, others not. This diffuser sits so loosely that it falls off when I tilt the flash down. Think I should return this...
