Gary Fong Lightsphere Collapsible - Clear
Great diffusion but still disappointing
Pros: Consistent Output
Cons: Hard to attach Falls off, Bulky
Best Uses: Portraits, Fill Flash
Describe Yourself: Pro Photographer
Pros: It definitely diffuses light well--used it for the first time and was happy with the results--both for crowd photos and close portraits--really diffused the light beautifully BUT the flash was still very bright in people's faces and I found I was mostly shooting flash toward the ceiling to avoid this. Other Cons: It's big and bulky, expensive, hard to attach to my Nikon SB-600, seemed very tight once on but still fell off twice when I flipped the direction of the flash, doesn't collapse partway--only fully up or fully down, takes up a lot of room in my camera bag, makes the flash seem huge and a bit unruly, hard to remove from the flash. :) A dog thought it was a toy and almost bit it while I held my camera at waist height!
