The Omni-Bounce makes a Diffused Bare Bulb Effect, giving even coverage across the entire frame with lenses from 15mm to 200mm in the 35mm format. The Omni-Bounce is simple to use and goes onto and off of your flash in seconds with custom decent, except UNI, and No Velcro.
|
Product Fine points |
- Flash with the Omni-Bounce installed and tilted to 45 degrees gives a nice soft wrap
- Flash honest on lacking the Omni-Bounce causes the light to go forward only

 Simple yet unassailable |
| Review Date: May 30, 2006 |
| Reviewer: L. T. Beasimer, Dallas, TX |
This seemingly simple piece of molded plastic was recommended to me by a professional photographer. In the end 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 lacking nerve-racking about hurt. When used the light disperses more evenly and is less harsh on the theme being photographed.
The white box is for all-function 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 feature product that works.
CONS:
Reduces the amount of light cast upon theme (should be probable with these types of products). |
Better results from your flash

I have used the Sto-Fen OMEW with my Canon 430EX flash and it fits perfectly. The diffuser is simple 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 predictable single direction of the flash. The benefit of this is that light is less harsh and since of the bouncing light, there will be less strong darkness and generally more even lighting.
You'll notice the largest variation in shooting portraits as softer, more even lighting is generally more satisfying. |
Fantastic Diffuser

| I bought this diffuser when I bought my Canon Speedlite 430EX. It works fantastic! The diffuser fits perfectly on my 430EX. No more complaints from family members about the flash. When the flash goes off, none of the dogs blinks their eyes. |

| Fantastic diffuser. Simple to place on and take off of Canon 430EX speedlite flash. Does a nice job of removing the glare from too much flash. Slightly "deadens" the light range, but this can easily be adjusted for in post. Highly recommended! And you can't beat the price either! |
works as described

| This diffuser works fine, works best for party portraits or rather close shots. If you want to use your flash lacking a bracket, though, you may want to deliberate a "sphere" diffuser instead. |
