Dot Line STO-FEN Omni-Bounce OM-400 for Nikon SB-400 Speedlight Flash Reviews

• Wonderful diffuser

  
  By AWBWZRPU1NPBB on 2007-11-25
  When I got my SB-400 flash, it had just come out so I was unable to find anyone selling a diffuser for it. I'm very happy with this one. I can now get lovely, warm flash photos (mostly of people) outdoors which are very similar to those I was able to get indoors bouncing off the ceiling. No flash blowout anymore, indoors or outdoors. And I almost never get a shadow from the flash.
  
  I also use it inside instead of a ceiling bounce most of the time.
  
  I would definitely buy this diffuser again.
  
  

• Soft Light

  This simple flash diffusor helps to soften the light of indoor shots where bounce flash may not work well. It took me a few tries to get the exposure adjusted for it, but it is pretty simple. I've used it on many family pictures, and it produces a nice, soft light. It is so small that it stores attached to my flash in my smallish camera bag. Can't go too wrong at the price.
  
  

• Handy little diffuser for the SB-400

  I purchased the Sto-fen diffuser primarily because I was worried about the SB-400 not swiveling for vertical shots. With a little practice you get nicely lit shots without the typical harsh lighting associated with flashes. It works very well for illuminating the entire shot --- it's one subtle difference I've noticed between a diffuser and a bounce card. I do like using both but if you want to capture objects in the background the diffuser is the way to go (the bounce card tends to highlight the main subject while background items are darker).
  
  I know there are a lot of DIY diffusers out there but this one isn't too expensive and isn't bulky. Very nice product.

  I like this product it does just what it said it would do. I would recomend this one for a little something to put into the camera bag to use when a little softer flash is needed.
  
  

• Stoffen,it's wonderful

  I have used Stoffen before. I have a Nikon SB-600 and bought the SB-400 because of it's size,as an auxilliary unit. But, it works so good I use it most of the time. The one thing it lacked was a diffuser. When I found out Stoffen made one for the 400, it was a no brainer.
  I ordered it through Amazon and it came from Cameta and the entire process was flawless.
  Super people to deal with on both ends.
  
  
• does the job
  By A33YZNZIRA3H97 on 2008-02-22
  This diffuser is cheap, easy to use, and does the job. When possible, I use the SB-400's bounce feature to create more even, less harsh lighting. Sometimes the bounce isn't usable (e.g., outdoors or for macro photos). In those cases, this diffuser does a great job.
  
  
• Great Diffuser
  By AVHL09U10U03D on 2008-04-05
  This diffuser works well - best in spaces that aren't too large, but it gets the job done. It's a great alternative for when pointing the flash at something is too harsh, but the ceiling is too tall to bounce the flash.
  
  
• Great Product. Exactly what I needed
  By A2EJEMRCW9MW2L on 2008-05-03
  I bought an SB400 for my D40 a few months ago and I loved the light when bouncing it off the ceiling, but I had trouble shooting vertical shots without a white(ish) wall close by or shooting period with a high ceiling. The Omni-Bounce gives great natural light with softer shadows behind the subject. If you want cheap, natural light from the tiny SB400 in nearly any environment, GET THIS!!!! It slipped on the nose of the flash with zero trimming and no fitting issues. By the way, if you're still using the built in flash for indoor shots, get the SB400 and this and you'll be all set. The built-in is fine for fill flash outdoors, but it gives harsh, unnatural, blue light and hard, dark backgrounds. Get the SB400 for like $130 full price and the Omni-Bounce and never look back.
  
  
• GOOD
  By A29Q9H53Q712EB on 2008-07-09
  i bought this for a bounce effect in the madam tusand where the ceeling is so high above that i cou;dn't bounce my flash .. this works great with the SB-400 and fits perfectly.
  works great .. but at the end of the day .. a plastic cap for $13 is too much to pay for. but since there is no option :(. i bouhgt it
  
  
• Take better pictures with this, yes it works!

  There is no miracle cure for flash blowout, but this diffuser does a good job and is worth the low price. I've taken pictures in all types of lighting situations with the SB-400, and bouncing the flash has always given me the best results. However, this isn't always possible, is it? For example, during one shoot, the drop ceiling was orange - which made the bounced light also orange, and yes, everyone in the picture was orange!
  
  The STO-FEN Omni-Bounce does a good job of diffusing your flash when you have no other options. You will still need to adjust your exposure here and there, it's just a fact of life, but this diffuser does a good job of helping you to dampen that over blown look.
