Sto-fen flash diffusers

Best place to get these from?

7dayshop have them cheapish but not in stock. Loads on ebay but expensive, usual Hong Kong cheapies with 20 quid delivery.

Anybody know if the copies are any good? Where to get one from quickly and relatively cheaply!?

Was hoping to find a bit of plastic cheaper than 20 quid to be honest, but have ordered anyway because I just want the damn thing!

to be honest, i use a piece of white photo paper and two elastic bands .... much better results than the stofen.



and it's cheaper !

Ah well, it's ordered already

SB-600 turned up today, looks great. No batteries though Does it work OK with rechargeables?

Mine runs on rechargables all the time. Just make sure you buy ones that are rated at 2700mAh or higher, or they wont last very long.

Heh, mine are 1800mAH

It arrived today - bloody hell, 20 quid for that!? 20 pence would be more like it!

[TheCaseAce]

I know.

It works well though. Remember to put the flash head vertically.

Also remember it pretty much halves the range of the flash.

On the site and leaflet thing it says 45deg for film SLR, 70 degrees to vertical for DSLRs. It does seem odd putting it vertical. Dunno.
