Amazon is missing some important info in the product description!
I was sent the wrong product but I will not give Sto-fen a lower score because of this. I blame Amazon for not making it clear on their website. Diffusers are different sizes. ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL!
This is in the product description for this diffuser...

WHERE DOES IT SAY THIS IS SPECIFICALLY FOR THE 430ex? I now have a 15 dollar paper weight because Amazon (ADORAMA) sent me the wrong diffuser. Since it is such a low cost item it would be silly to send it back and pay shipping charges.
EVERYONE BEWARE. Make sure you are getting the diffuser that fits your flash. I will be taping mine on until the correct one comes in the mail.
A must have item
Perfect diffuser for your 430 EX flash, and a must-have in every kit with that flash.
It's not great, but it's portable
A friend of mine convinced me I needed this. He does weddings and uses this on his Nikon SB-800 which is attached to his D300. He likes it for it's small footprint in his camera bag and it's ability to disperse flash in an acceptable fashion.
I am far more discriminating and far more pickey how my flash performs.
I found this diffuser did not evenly distribute light throughout the room.
I did a few tests, comparing it to my Gary Fong Whale Tail. The Omni-Bounce ditributed the light poorly in comparison and weakened the flash output far more than the whale tail did.
I tried several angles of bounced light with no attachment. The Omni-bounce was better than nothing at all for inside photos.
I use a Canon 30D and a Canon 580 EX II.
I recommend it only in that it is better than nothing for indoor photography, it takes up very little room in your bag and it's inexpensive.
