The Lightsphere Inverted Dome works wonderfully, softly and evenly illuminating not only the subject, but the surroundings as well (thus getting rid of that harsh flash look on the subject with resulting black or dark background). The Lightsphere II Inverted Dome is easy to put on and take o..." Read Full Review »

Heavier than expected

"I found that this product does a nice job of diffusing my external flash. However, I was surprised to find it heavier than I expected. In fact, I am rarely able to use my flash at a 45-degree angle (from straight up); the diffuser's weight pulls the flash down to a 90-degree angle.

"This really tames the harsh light of direct flash. If you don't have the means to get your flash off camera and diffused by some other method then this is the way to go. "

This is one of my first shots with the diffuser.

"I definitely like this lightsphere a LOT better than the attachable softbox I bought about 4 months ago. It spreads the light out nice and even without any open slits where light rays can seep into a shot. I love that it's easy to get on and off and doesn't require you to gunk up your flash with v …"  Read Full Review »
