Product Description

The Opteka flash diffuser 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 Opteka diffuser is easy to use and goes onto and off the flash in seconds with custom fitting and no touch fastener.

Designed for years of service without the bulk of some other diffusers, it is small enough to fit easily into a gadget bag or pocket.

2.0 out of 5 stars Does not fit the Nikon SB-600, May 17, 2009

This flash diffuser would be great, I'm sure, if it actually fit the Nikon SB-600. However, it doesn't, so it's pretty worthless. It slips off very easily, even when I thought I had a tight seal. Don't buy this.

I'm using this diffuser on a Nikon SB-600 and it simply refuses to stay on the flash, so I had to duct-tape it on. I see that it also supposedly fits the Olympus FL-36, so maybe it was really designed for that flash and stays on better.

Even though the SB-600 has a built in wide-angle diffuser, that pulls out and folds over the flash lense, I thought this diffuser would do a better job of softening the flash. Perhaps a PC monitor would have shown something different, but the camera LCD display on the Nikon D200 showed the Opteka diffuser didn't do very well. It was about the same as having no diffuser in place as far as shadows and harshness. But the color rendition is what convinced me to bury the thing in a camera bag pocket, as a last resort to a broken standard diffuser. The standard SB-600 diffuser was superior in evening out the light and provided better colors.
