 Quite satisfiedSep 07, 2006
By Brian Smith
I bought one of these last week and used it for an event shoot over the weekend, and I'm very happy with it. It diffuses the light quite well... basically does what it's designed to do.
I bought a Cinch Strap from Lumiquest at the same time, which nicely gets around the issue of sticking velcro strips on the flashgun. While it's not as secure as if the thing were "glued" to the flash, the inside of the strap is rubberized which helps a lot with keeping things in place. It also didn't take long to get a technique down for attaching it.

goodJul 03, 2006
By Gerardo C. Guzman Lozano
Its good item, the only thing i dont like its the way it attaches it self to the flash, you need to stick velcro to your flash, and still a bit loose.

 It does diffuse lightNov 15, 2005
By Splinters McGee
It does soften the light from my Canon 420EX flash. And the half-bow-tie design is clever in that it allows the autofocus assist lights to work unobstructed. But in order to attach this accessory to a flash you are supposed to stick 4 pieces of sticky backed velcro on the flash itself. I find this objectionable and it seems that a more
elegant or clever solution could be readily found. For example I took a 14" long piece of velcro used for wrapping network cables and wound it tightly around the top of the flash. This works to some degree but the softbox still slips and slides around a bit and the assembly must be handled delicately.

Happy with my purchaseApr 13, 2010
By Kimberly D. Gauthier
Thank heavens for all of the product reviews. I love this little thing. It's super easy to use, folds up and takes up little space, and does what it's supposed to do. Like other people who reviewed this product, I wasn't interested in attaching the velcro to my lens so I ordered a velcro strap to hold it into place; until that arrived, I used a rubber band with no issues.
I use my softbox regularly and I'm pleased with the images I'm getting.

Works well, but annoyingNov 08, 2011
By K. Stuart
I have been using this diffuser for 6 months now. This review reflects my experiences.
PROS:
LumiQuest's design is great to ensure that your flash's sensor is able to function properly. The size of this diffuser is a bit larger than most diffusers for camera-mounted flashes, which is typically what you want. I suppose the center weight does it's job well, but I really don't notice a difference in my photos when compared to other similar-sized diffusers.
CONS:
I absolutely REFUSE to place the adhesive velcro on my flash. That means I had to spend $10 to buy the velcro strap. The strap itself works very well, but mounting the diffuser is a hassle. I'm sure the mounting process would be a hassle regardless of how my velcro is attached to the flash unit. The diffuser is an awkward shape and requires 5 separate connections to the velcro. The process of attaching and removing the diffuser is quite tedious and too easy to mess up.
SUMMARY:
The diffuser itself works very well, but the mounting is horrible. If you need speed when attaching and removing your diffuser, this is NOT for you.
