Sto Fen Omni Bounce for the Canon 580EX Flash

The Omni-Bounce creates a Diffused Bare Bulb Effect. Giving even coverage across the entire frame, with lenses from 15mm to 200mm in the 35mm format. (And equal in other formats as well.) The Omni-Bounce is easy to use and goes onto and off of your flash in seconds with custom fitting, except UNI, and No Velcro. Designed for years of service with out the bulk of some other Diffusers, it is small enough to fit easily into your gadget bag or pocket.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars EXCELLENT!
Love it, has worked so well with my 580EXII, putting it on is kinda scary as you have to apply quite a bit of force but with the proper grip from your other hand it will be just fine over and over. it does change the color temp a bit, but let me tell ya, this thing was a life save for some difficult lighting situations.

definitely worth the buy.

5 Stars I hate flash
This little plastic thing does make flash more acceptable, I’ll have to admit. I’m just really very, very sorry I can’t seem to come up with a way top sell a simple peice of (extremely useful) plastic at God only knows what % profit.

5 Stars It does what it does very well
I really like this diffuser. It looks a lot more professional than what I was using, which was a piece of gray tupperware with some velcro stuck to it which I then attached to my flash by more velcro.

It helps a lot to avoid harsh shadows caused by an undiffused flash.

I’d definitely buy another one if I lose or break this one somehow.

5 Stars OmniBounce flash diffuser.
Does a great job softening flash images. It fits the Canon 580EX quite smoothly.

4 Stars Helps sometime, doesn’t hurt
Does yield a more uniform lighting sometimes. Other times makes no difference. Note the instruction does say this thing will cut back the flash distance by a factor of 2.5, so use accordingly. The instruction also mention you need to pull and loosen the diffuser before putting it on the 580ex II, I only have a 580 so did not need to do that.
