Yes, this works well for what I need it to do. But why is it priced like it does something special – or anything for that matter. This is molded plastic. That is all. It’s annoying that companies like this can’t charge a small markup. It’s obvious this costs pennies to make, and a few more to market. It would price it at $3.99 and even then, that’s a large profit for plastic.

You have to stretch it hard first before you can attach on your flash.Never buy this kind of product & it doesn’t make any difference.

With NOTHING on the SB600, I can direct the flash up toward the ceiling and I can get rid of eye glass reflections. With this Bounce Diffuser on the SB600, if I aim the flash up toward the ceiling, I get reflections in eye glasses. The reason being, that when aimed straight up, there is light coming from the side of the diffuser which reflects off of the glass of the eyeglass wearer, without the diffuser, there is NO SIDE light and thus no eye glass reflection.

1. After reading the various reviews on the Stofen, I figured for the price–> I might as well check it out.
2. Bottomline: this thing is a total waste of money (thankfully not that much). I’m able to get more balanced, well lit shots by simply using my flash, bouncing it off the ceiling compared to using the Stofen (at varying angles). What’s interesting is that if anything, the Stofen seems to focus / concentrate the light as oppose to diffuse it (ie very strange). I’m assuming that if one wants diffused light that is better than bouncing one’s flash off the walls, one probably needs to use the various more expensive and bulkier devices that the pros use (ie it’s becoming clear as to why the pros use what they do… because they work).
