Customer Review: Advert detail incompleate
Summary: 1 Stars
I am sure the product sent me would have worked fine but the Amazon advert did not differentiate between the different models of the Canon 420 flashgun so i got the wrong one.
I found the manufacturer actually was based in my home town [why did I order from NY :-( ] and he happily swapped the item for the correct model free of charge.
The correct one works perfectly and I am surprised a simple piece of plastic can improve things so well.
10 out of 10 for the product 1 out of ten for the misleading advert on amazon.
Customer Review: Decent flash diffuser for a good price
Summary: 3 Stars
I use this with a Vivitar 285. The diffusion is excellent, but it is a little clumsy to get on and off the flash. It is held by a couple of tabs that don't fit all that well. (I also have a Sto-Fen Omni-Bounce for a Pentax flash that slips over the entire head and it goes on and off very easily.) It kills shadows and spreads the light very well. Since it spreads the light so much, it also drops the flash brightness quite a bit (as expected).
Customer Review: Pretty good diffuser
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a good small diffuser. You can just throw it in the bag and carry it around... you never know when a flash might come in handy...
I never use a flash without a diffuser. So If you are looking at this you should also take a look at: Gary Fong C3 Cloud Lightsphere II.
The only advantage this diffuser has to the C3 is that it's small and easy to carry.
Customer Review: Perfect!

I bought this Sto-Fen Omni Bounce to use with my Vivitar 283 flash units. It fits perfectly, is tight, and provides the diffusion that I was looking for when using an on-camera flash unit. I've done a fair amount of shooting with it and it makes my Vivitar 283 like a little mini-umbrella!Customer Review: Sto Fen Omni Bounce for the Vivitar 283 Flash review.
Summary: 5 Stars
This diffuser softens the harsh light of an electronic flash in bounce mode.I took a few photos of my pet with the device on, and there wasn't any peteye,which is the same as redeye in people.I believe that you need to use about two f stops above what the flash table says on the flash unit.
