Cameta anticipates your needs in putting Kits together and as with others they did a great job with this one. I didn't have rechargeable batteries for the strobe so the addition was just what I needed and the quick recharger works well.

This review is from: Sto-Fen OMNI-BOUNCE OM-MZ40 - Flash diffuser (Electronics)

This diffuser came nowhere near meeting my expectations. First, although it fits on the Pentax 540 flash, it doesn't exactly fit well. The flash has a rounded edge at the top and the Sto-Fen is straight edged, so it never really fully seats. This is more a cosmetic issue than functional, so I did some testing. The diffuser performed almost exactly as well as the internal diffuser on the flash (which we already own). I couldn't tell the photos apart. Bouncing the flash with the Sto-Fen diffuser created underexposed shots. The only situation where I would get ANY benefit from this device is if I were extremely close to the subject, I didn't want to point the flash directly at the subject, and I was in a location where I could not bounce a flash off a ceiling (like outdoors or some place with cathedral ceilings). So in other words, this product is more or less useless for me.

This review is from: Sto-Fen OMNI-BOUNCE OM-MZ40 - Flash diffuser (Electronics)

It fits right over the flash with a friction fit just tight enough to hold it in place. Like all broad diffusers, the flash light output is spread all over causing a major brightness fall-off straight ahead. I used it for a wedding recently and was able to get some excellent indoor pictures by setting the camera manually to expose on the dark side without the flash. The catch light was very nice and the skin tones and highlights looked good. Shadows were very faint as expected.
