Question About Flash Diffusers

[Chikabowa]

When I can't take my flash off-camera, I prefer the type of attatchments you mention (or a diy black foam that does something similar) to get DIRECTIONAL light. I like light that models the subject's form rather than flat light coming straight from the camera angle.

I couldn't agree more!!
Personally I find the flip up white card on my sb800 to do me nicely (although I prefer off camera if given a choice!), so I don't sock a lot of money into anything else. But if I needed something more, either of those two products would be my first stop.

I don't know about Canon, but Nikon started including a Stofen-like device with their flagship speedlights.

I just checked B&H and did not find that Nikon includes a Stofen-like device.

I think you are confusing a Stofen-like device with the wide-angle lens attachment provided by both Canon and Nikon.

Both the SB-700 & SB-900 do indeed include a diffusion dome.

It may not be in the produce image, but the SB-800 came with a diffusion dome and the SB-900 comes with one. It's pretty much a Stofen omnibounce.

Edit: Didn't realize Code had already replied. Good to know that the SB-700 also includes one.

When I was second shooting for weddings, we used a stroboframe & a Micro Apollo mini-softbox. I've had it for 6 years, use it all the time & love the pictures.
