Sto-Fen OM-600 Omni-Bounce for Nikon SB-600 & Olympus FL-36

The Sto-fen 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 the flash in seconds with custom fitting and no touch fastener.

Designed for years of service without the bulk of some other diffusers, it is small enough to fit easily into a gadget bag or pocket.

It's cheap, fits my SB-600 wonderfully (but still easy to remove), and diffuses light better than the way-more-expensive Lumiquest Promax system (not to mention it doesn't look completely ridiculous on your camera like Lumiquest products do). I originally bought the Promax based on internet reviews and also because I figured the size and complexity of it would make it a better diffuser when a ceiling isn't available. How wrong I was! This little omni-bounce, as simple as it may be, does a better job than the Promax at a fraction of the cost and size.

It's cool that they also make a green and orange one to more-or-less mimic what a gel would do. I'm going to buy these also.

If you don't mind paying [$] for a piece of plastic you can very easily replace with a plastic soup container, it doesn't soften light outdoors only indoors, and it should not be thought of as a softener, rather something to give you a wider beam of light.

    I can't imagine packing/using speedlights without Omni Bounce diffusers. If you don't have one, get one. After you use it you'll never carry a speedlight without one.

          I really love this product. I use it for fill flash photography in the daytime and also i will use it when bouncing the flash indoors.

          Its great because it is small, compact and really does the job.

                        I hate flash. I hate how harsh it is. I hate that distracting shadow. With the Sto-Fen Omni-Bounce, I hate flash a little less. It really works well. If I have to use a flash, I grab the diffuser. It fits tightly and won't falls off. It's made of good quality plastic.

                          I use it for outdoor flash diffusion and general purpose lighting on my SB-600. It works perfectly every time and doesn't really effect the power of the flash that much. Also the fact that it fits so easily into my camera bag makes it even better.

                            I like this diffuser for active shooting, and anywhere with a reflective surface (light ceiling, etc). Does not work as well in open areas as the SB-800 Nikon unit, due to lack of diffusing texture in the front surface. It stays on no matter what, even over taped-on gel strips.
                            This is also unobtrusive, when compared to diffusion domes.

                              I have used this product for several years. I also compared the results against a Lumiquest easy bouce attachment and obtained similar reults. The Sto-Fen appears to be more durable; waterproof, crush proof, etc. I haven't tried a rubber band and a small white card yet but, why bother. Besides, it would look rather silly and dare I say, unprofessional.

                                First time using this product. Very satisfied with the result on my pictures when using direct flash.
                                It fits firmly and easily installed and taken off.

                                        Simply doing what it should, the OM-600 creates softer tones and diminishes hard shadows by diffusing light. I am using it on the Nikon SB-600.

                                          I have used the Omin-Bounce for some time now. It works great. I Just bought a second SB-600, so I got a second Omni-bounce. they fit and work great. It has never falling off.

                                          When used at about 75 or 60 degree angle images look more natural with out light directed at center of scene.
