Product Description:
The Omni-Bounce 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 Omni-Bounce is easy to use and goes onto and off of your flash in seconds with custom fitting, except UNI, and No Velcro. Designed for years of service with out the bulk of some other Diffusers, it is small enough to fit easily into your gadget bag or pocket.

There is really no reason for a photographer to buy this, a bounce card (which is built into the 580EX) serves the same purpose when one isn't using direct strobe and one should rarely if ever use direct strobe in shooting.You're wasting your money, especially $11 for something that is really just translucent plastic.
Rating:  - Okay
It works as advertised.....I love soft lights when using strobes and I have this little guy to help me achieve my desired effects day in and day out...I also have Gary Fong's lightsphere which is better but the bulk of the lightsphere is a turn off.

If this was $4 it would be 4-5 stars. For $15 it's hard to not feel like you're being taken advantage of. It works. It softens the light (and decreases the light output). Unfortunately it also changes the color of the light. The auto-white balance setting on cameras that get color info from the flash will make things too red, but that's easy enough to fix later. I hardly ever use it since my walls and ceiling are white and I get a much nicer effect bouncing the flash when indoors.
Rating: - Just get one
If you have a flash for your camera, get a diffuser. You need one so your pictures aren't harshly lit when you use an external flash.
It's that simple.
Rating: - Useful Accessory
This is a pretty simple accessory, a form-fitted piece of white plastic that lets a flash simulate a "bare bulb" type of light.Useful when indoors, or near reflecting surfaces.COMPLETELY pointless to have on your flash, if you are not reflecting the light - all it does is soak up 2 stops of light from your flash otherwise.It was meant to be used with the flash pointed upward, not at the subject.This does NOT, in and of itself, soften the light from your flash - correct use of it inside or ...
