Customer Reviews
Ok, warm tint
If this was $4 it would be 4-5 stars. For $15 it's hard to not feel like you're being taken advantage of. It works. It softens the light (and decreases the light output). Unfortunately it also changes the color of the light. The auto-white balance setting on cameras that get color info from the flash will make things too red, but that's easy enough to fix later. I hardly ever use it since my walls and ceiling are white and I get a much nicer effect bouncing the flash when indoors.
Just get one
If you have a flash for your camera, get a diffuser. You need one so your pictures aren't harshly lit when you use an external flash.
It's that simple.
Useful Accessory
This is a pretty simple accessory, a form-fitted piece of white plastic that lets a flash simulate a "bare bulb" type of light. Useful when indoors, or near reflecting surfaces. COMPLETELY pointless to have on your flash, if you are not reflecting the light - all it does is soak up 2 stops of light from your flash otherwise. It was meant to be used with the flash pointed upward, not at the subject. This does NOT, in and of itself, soften the light from your flash - correct use of it inside or near reflecting surfaces does that. But, knowing that - it is useful.
