 Good deal July 28, 2010
Jacky Chan
Overall, very good deal. However, it is a little bigger than I expected and what the product picture seems to suggest. But it doesn't bother me.

First of all...product is not as compact as shown in the picture. Probably double the size.
Secondly...doesn't warm the pics like I thought it would.
OK Diffuser May 27, 2010

I tried this on my New Nikon D90, and it fit perfectly. No problems with the attachment setting off the hotshoe and disabling the built-in flash.
It works great with subjects standing a few feet away, but I work on a smaller scale; and I am usually standing about 1' from my subject. In these situations, there was virtually no difference, even with the Exposure adjusted.
In my opinion, just go for the higher end soft boxes.
It's okay, but Gary Fong's Flash-Puffer is much better. March 23, 2010

I mainly got this for my 35mm film-camera, as the digital camera's automatically compensate for the tungsten (orange) and daylight (blue) spectrums of light.
You'd use the blue diffuser if you began shooting film outside during the day and want to transition the film to inside, because inside you'd have mostly tungsten which is orange. The blue counters the tungsten effect.
The same applies in reverse. You'd want the orange diffuser if you began shooting indoors with film under tungsten light and want to shoot outdoors in daylight.
How this works is when film is developed, most places just colour balance to the first frame of the film and if you've compensated, all your prints will look the same. Otherwise you'll have some normally coloured and the rest either blueish or yellowish hued, if you didn't use the diffusers at all.
With digital cameras, you can also use the orange diffuser to warm up a day-lit scene.
Personally I found the diffusers are okay, but not up to the same quality as those by Gary Fong.
I also want to note that this brand DOES NOT work with the Gary Fong Puffer Pop Up Flash Diffuser, as the peg-sizes are different. Gary Fong's Puffer has more slots for more adjustibility, this knock-off has fewer holes for the pegs.
This item is okay for beginners, but I would still steer them to the Gary Fong Puffer mentioned earlier in my review. Therefore, three stars. One star for price, another for the additional colours for film-cameras, and a third star because it is half-way decent.

I'm currently using this with a Nikon D90 and an Olympus E-Volt 510. The fit on the hotshoe is OK. It is easily adjustable and works enough to diffuse the flash for subjects up to 10ft away. It is also unobtrusive and remains on the camera/s I am using at the moment.
I have not tried the orange and blue screens as all I need this for is to diffuse the light output. I shoot in RAW so these screens are not of much use (I doubt thaey would be effective anyway).
While I would preffer using an external flash off-camera, this is just the solution if you have to use the built in flash and are at least hoping for a close to professional look.
