    5.0 out of 5 stars Simple yet effective, May 30, 2006

    This review is from: Stofen OM-EW Omni Bounce For Canon 430EX White (Accessory)
    This seemingly simple piece of molded plastic was recommended to me by a professional photographer. Basically it's the shape of an open box that slides firmly onto the flash. It is small and sturdy enough to stash in your camera bag without worrying about damage. When used the light disperses more evenly and is less harsh on the subject being photographed.

    The white box is for general use. Also available are the green Omni-bounce for florescent lighting and the gold Omni-bounce for a warming effect.

    PROS:
    Inexpensive solution for better flash photography.
    A quality product that works.

    CONS:
    Reduces the amount of light cast upon subject (should be expected with these types of products).

    This review is from: Stofen OM-EW Omni Bounce For Canon 430EX White (Accessory)
    EDIT: After having owned these devices a few years, I quickly found they aren't needed at all. Proper use of bounce techniques can be learned at places like Strobist and create much more visually-appealing shots. I don't even keep them in my camera bag anymore, that's how useless they are.

    If you have a flash, people may recommend this or a light sphere as a needed item to improve your creative range. I highly recommend this product over the over-priced light sphere, as they both have about the same visual effect, but the light sphere costs dramatically more.

    This device fits easily onto your flash and holds tight. No need for ugly tape or sticky velcro pads that look tacky. This thing merges into the form of your flash and looks like it belonged there the whole time. Looks aside, what does it do?

    It diffuses your flash's light so you get a softer and more spread-out look to your flash. No more pictures looking like you're shining a spotlight on... Read more

    5.0 out of 5 stars Better results from your flash, March 21, 2007
    This review is from: Stofen OM-EW Omni Bounce For Canon 430EX White (Accessory)
    I have used the Sto-Fen OMEW with my Canon 430EX flash and it fits perfectly. The diffuser is easy to slip on and will stay on tight unless it's pulled off.

    This diffuser light to escape in a number of directions (hence omni-bounce)instead of the typical single direction of the flash. The benefit of this is that light is less harsh and because of the bouncing light, there will be less strong shadows and generally more even lighting.

    You'll notice the biggest difference in shooting portraits as softer, more even lighting is generally more flattering.
