hi there


i bought the Sto-Fen Omni-Bounce flash diffuser for my 430EX II about a year ago, but don't really use it any more. it's an inexpensive accessory, that does what it's supposed to - increase the area of the light source. however, i use my 430EX II mainly for bounce flash (i hate the look of direct flash), and i don't like the way that the Omni-Bounce still lights my subjects even if i'm pointing my flash head upwards off the ceiling. it also "sucks up" more battery power and light from the flash too. however, if i was forced to take a photo with direct flash, i'd use the Omni-Bounce to achieve a slightly less stark image


hope that's useful!
