4.0 out of 5 stars Great little time saver, February 16, 2009
By Mark "Marky D Sharky" (Medford, OR USA) - See all my reviews
This is a great little time saver for those times when you want to use your built-in flash. When not in use if fits easily in a pocket. I am very happy with my purchase, it is a nice compliment to my speedlite setup.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I was looking for a cheap product to take away the harsh flash while taking my children's pictures. This little thing did the trick! It is compact and a snap to put on! It even prevents the flash from going off when not truly needed on the auto setting.

Oh, and I have a Canon Rebel xt eos:)

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't bother - won't help, November 1, 2009
By Kevin M (Fremont, CA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Based on other reviews, I thought I'd give this a try on my Canon XSi. What's the problem with the pop-up flash? Aside from the lack of power, it's directional and harsh. In portrait orientation, the pop-up flash will produce dark shadowing to the side.

If you add this Opteka diffuser on, it does NOT reduce the shadowing noticeably (maybe 5% improvement at most). What's worse is that the color turns more yellowish/brownish, and very ugly color at that. I've played with the white balance settings, but those won't yield acceptable results for me either. Perhaps a custom white balance might, but I didn't try that.

The diffuser will marginally soften the light on your subject, but due to no improvement in shadowing and negative effect on color, my opinion is that you're better off without it.

It's also very cheaply made. It's simple thin plastic. The back has a tab that is folded and used to slide into the hot shoe to hold it in place. But this it feels like it'll rip at the crease, so I'm extra careful with it.

A better solution that using this diffuser is to get an external flash. That will improve your lighting options and quality by leaps and bounds. But if your budget doesn't allow for an external flash, then you shouldn't let waste on this either. It's really useless.

I have only tried using this diffuser indoors for casual family photos, so maybe it may work better for some other uses (macro, outdoor fill).

This works great for my Nikon D60. It travels small, and is installed in seconds. My only fear is that the small tab that inserts into the flash slide will break at the seam... Read more
