Stofen diffuser 
2008-06-09
So far this diffuser does what expected. No complaints. It's cheap and works pretty good.
Fading Problem 2008-05-19
I own all three colors but use the "Gold" color all the time. It really helps minimize the foreground to background color differences when using fill flash under tungsten light. Be advised that the Gold model fades significantly after 18 months to 2 years. Stofen, who are normally quite responsive, refuse to answer when challenged about the fading. So I just buy a new one every couple of years. They are cheap enough at Amazon!
Wow 
2008-05-12
I never thought I'd be excited about a piece of plastic, but this little device makes the results from the Speedlite flash 10 times better. It totally eliminates the glare and the harsh shadows associated with the the pre-diffuser era. I've been delaying buying one for a while and now my only question is 'why didn't it come with the flash in the first place?'.
If you have a Speedlite, you must get one of these things! (A cheaper alternative is to tie toilet paper around the flash and secure it with an elastic band, FYI).
Works Well 2008-04-29
I have used this Sto-Fen diffuser a hand full of times now. It works well for diffusing the flash in low-light situations. I use it with a flash bracket mostly. This is a must have for any serious photographer.
Nice Peace 
2008-04-15
It is a nice peace and does the job, but makes my Canon 580ex II flash looks longer which doesnt fit into my current bag. I have to buy a bigger bag.
Achieves its purpose 2008-07-02
Most people familiar with flash know about Sto-Fens, or will shortly. They're about the cheapest decent way to diffuse your flash somewhat. Don't expect amazing diffusion -- not possible from something this small -- but it makes a noticeable difference compared to direct flash.
Shadows are still present, but they're noticeably softer than with direct flash. If you're hoping for decent night or evening outdoor pictures using one, well, it's still close to direct flash, honestly... so just keep that in mind. A small umbrella is going to go a lot further to help even out the shadows.
It would be nice if Sto-Fen made a taller version of this; it would help quite a bit.
Classic must have... 2008-07-01
This is a classic addition to any dedicated flash setup. There are many situations that I personally use it both on and off camera. It is a nice low cost solution to soften hard light when using a 45 degree bounce technique off lower ceiling structures. Just be aware of your ceiling color as that will affect your outcome. This product is easy to slip in even the smallest of camera bags and makes an excellent on-the-go diffuser. You can also use it for holding color correction gels when shooting in different lighting environments. There are several variations of this type of product on the market but this one is compact and something you'll use for years to come. Enjoy your creative side and never stop reaching for the ultimate picture in your life!
works great, unobtrusive 2008-06-30
Put it on and point the unit straight up towards the ceiling. The light going up will be even more diffuse and a small amount of diffused light will be directed forward. When shooting in darker situations without ceiling, you can point it 45 degress - or even directly forward if you have to at night outdoors. Works fine for flash fill too. I have taken shots back-to-back with this vs the Gary Fong LightSphere and I can't tell the difference - I imagine that the lightsphere is marginally better (esp if you have to aim it directly under extreme conditions), but I can't tell the difference. And it's unobtrusive and it works. (Occasionally you might notice a small hot spot on a reflective surface when it is directed upwards - to completely eliminate that if that's your concern, just bouncing the flash backwards against walls and ceiling without the diffuser is best.)
Simple and Effective 2008-06-28
The Sto-Fen Omni-Bounce diffuser simply works. It diffuses the light so illumination of the subject isn't harsh, with little loss of light. It fits snugly on the camera flash and its compact size makes it convenient to pack in the camera bag.
Omni-Bounce diffuser 2008-06-23
I have only used this diffuser a cople of times but the price was right and it seems to do a very good job of lessing red eye and cutting glare from windows and mirrors.
I am very happy with the product.
