There is a lot of information and misinformation about hot shoe flash diffussers on the net. I was wondering what everyone likes best. So far I am leaning towards the stofen.
Please explain why... Like and dislikes to help me in my decision.
Thanks

Stofen Omni-bounce is the only one I use. Works like a charm. Doesn't have a huge effect, but just enough to give my images a little "somethin".
5D, 20D
50mm f/1.4, 70-200mm f/2.8L IS, 100mm f/2.8 macro, 580EX II, 580 EX, 550 EX
I don't know what you call it but it's like a plastic, a little thicker than the bounce that comes with the 580ex and SB800... a little bigger too... it's made by a friend, cut out from some hard plastic...... :-)
Favorite: Plastic bottle that formerly held Delmonte brand baby fruit juices. The picture shows two versions. In one the bottom was removed to allow more light to go up and bounce from ceiling. Version with solid bottom is better in rooms with poor ceilings for bouncing.

I only chose the lightsphere because I have the most experience with it. From my experiences it works quite well.
