It produces nice soft light.

Comments about Gary Fong Lightsphere Universal Basic Kit:

Although the kit isn't all that inexpensive, I was so frustrated with the previous flash diffusers I've bought that I decided to just take the leap. I really despise event photography based on the post production to make the light softer, but this kit literally cut my editing time in half (if not more). It's easy to use and very forgiving for depth within a shot. The light is just as soft and even for vertical shots (which are usually a problem) just by flipping the flash as shown on the enclosed instruction card. I mostly use the plain inverted dome, but the chrome and amber attachment have been incredibly useful as well.

I got to use the product for the first time last weekend. All I can say is wow. Its the best diffuser I have ever used. It cast and even light and its great that I can change the top for different lighting effects.

I read a review on here that talked about how hard it was to spend this much on "Tupperware". But just as the reviewer said, it is worth it! This is a great diffusing addition to your flash. It also creates a consistent color in your photos for less editing. Great tool.

Good light distribution. Works very well in landscape but in portrait mode it still casts a little bit of shadows on your subject. It's really big to fit in my bag, actually it doesn't fit in my bag because of the size of the thing. It's too pricey though for a simple construction and material.

I usually use this a portrait photography, convinate with canon 580 EXII is a excelent math.

I use the Lightsphere for both outdoor fill as well as indoor receptions. The ease of connecting and use have made it indispensable in my bag. The light is even without hotspots and high ceilings no longer a bounce problem.

One its best features is the rapid switch from horizontal to vertical.

I shoot mostly events/night clubs and this diffuser is perfectly suited for that environment.
The best thing about it is I do not have to move the flash when shooting. I just keep it pointed forward in portrait and landscape.

Comments about Gary Fong Lightsphere Universal Basic Kit:

Great for portraits and night shots, it does soft the light uniformly.

Comments about Gary Fong Lightsphere Universal Basic Kit:

Performed as advertised and as I expected based upon demonstration videos produced by the designer. For those of you who use flash and want to eliminate red eye and produce a softer image with minimized shadow, I would recommend this product, as I'm very happy with it. [...]

I tried out the chrome dome and was disappointed. It did not fit securely on the light sphere. It would move around and rattle alot. As far as the universal light sphere, it was nothing like the video from Gary Fong. It did not stay securely to my speedlite. In Gary Fong's video he shows how you can hold your camera by the light sphere. "You can't".

I will never go back to using a normal flash again. The Gary Fong Lightsphere works great in applying more even flash to my subjects and does not drown out the details in their appearance. Highly recommended for any photographer that photographs people. The only negative I can think of is that I wish it could be a little more compact. Its a little bulky.

Comments about Gary Fong Lightsphere Universal Basic Kit:

Have used this on a Canon 580EX, 430EX and 430EXII, fits fine and makes for a nice, soft image. I like it in daylight, evidence of flash use simply disappears and you are left with fill light that only a photographer would notice. The yellow dish is perhaps a bit overdone, dial back you flash a bit so the subjects don't look overly tanned. My sense is that this will last a long time if I don't lose the parts.

This is a really great light modifier. Light quality is great, and exposures are more accurate with my ex580II.

Comments about Gary Fong Lightsphere Universal Basic Kit:

This product really enhances my on camera flash, it gets rid of those harsh shadows and softens the portraits. The amber dome can really warm a photo up. It is a great addition to my camera bag.

i use this product on my speedlight almost always, great product deffently a must have for any photographer. Kinda of an odd fit with my SB-600 though, had to slightly modify the cutout for the flash head to fit the built in deffuser lip on the SB-600.

It works! I am impressed with how well it works. I was hoping to get Gary's folding version but didn't realize these weren't the same. Check out his site to understand the differences between this one and the newer one.

I received this along with my 580EXII. I use this for covering various kinds of events and portraits.
I love the design and build. Velcro strap works great, It's nice not having to worry about it falling off. All three attachments work great as well.
Great product!
