 One of the best values in photography August 26, 2006

After having tested this out I am simply amazed at the image quality--I used to *hate* using flash but with this I am eager to start using it again. The fact that it was $11 makes it that much better.
I had to trim the matchboard slightly as to not trigger the hotshoe switch in my canon 300d, as a result it's far more easier to slide in and out. I find the velcro fit works better than trying to loop it over the nameplate.
t's a terrible waste of your bult in flash to not have this always ready.

This product is affordable, portable and easy to use but it does very little. The tones are warmed a bit, but the shadows remain quite harsh. I get a better result by placing a sheet of rigid translucent plastic in front of the flash. Also, the front attachment loop tends to pop off on my Canon 30D.

Having used this product a short while,I find it almost useless!!!! I see no difference in my photos with or without it. At least it didn't cost much.
A very useful accessory September 15, 2007

I just bought this for my new Pentax K100D because I was looking for a way to get the most out of my camera's built-in flash. The problem with built-in flashes is, that they emit light almost parallel to the optical axis of the lens, which produces a very harsh and cold bluish tint and extreme speculiar highlights on the subject. A diffuser remedies this somewhat by breaking up the straight light beam from the flash into different directions.
The LumiQuest On-Camera Soft Screen Diffuser is essentially a piece of plastic. It has a tongue on one side that is supposed to fit into the hot shoe flash mount of your camera. The other end fits over the name plate on the front, covering the built-in flash. The tongue needed some adjustment with scissors to fit into the Pentax' shoe, and the fit on the nameplate is somewhat flimsy. A velcro strip is included which should give more stability, or to cover those camera models which do not have the nameplate to attach to.
I tried it out immediately and especially with portraits, the results were very pleasing. Without the diffuser, I got the dreaded blue-white flash ghost faces. With the diffuser, skin tones were much more natural and glare was reduced substantially.
My only nitpick: My fingers had this nasty rubber smell after handling it. I hope it will go away after some use.
Does what it's supposed to do... March 13, 2007

This device does what it's supposed to do: diffuse the flash output coming from the built-in flash. The biggest difference can be seen in indoor shots where a straight flash produces harsh shadows; this will soften it a little. Personally, I'm not a big fan of indoor flash photography, but I am now prone to use my flash more because of this. This isn't meant for the enthusiast or professional photographer; it offers no flexibility. For that, you will need an external flash and a dome diffuser.
