This product came recommended in order to reduce the glare from an in-built camera flash. It seems to work well, in that there is certainly less bright glare but I'd say instead that I now need to open the exposure by perhaps one stop to compensate for the reduction in the power of the flash. It fits neatly and securely to the camera body, without any need to use the velcro supplied. It's also not so bulky that I can't slip it into my camera bag, and have it to readily to hand.A relation, who is also keen on taking photos of her children has immediately bought one having seen me use it.For the price it is certainly an excellent accessory.

Acheté pour mon D90 il est assez facile à installer mais ne tient pas très bien; il faut souvent le remettre en place.Par contre, niveau rendu, il est vrai que le flash est beaucoup plus diffus et donc bien plus joli avec un rendu adouci

Im Gegensatz zu anderen Blitzvorsätzen ist der Lumiquest Softscreen wirklich gut zu gebrauchen, paßt flach in die Hemd- oder Seitentasche, ist immer dabei und verhindert rote Augen ohne entsprechende Nachteile. Wer das Teil wirklich mal konkret ausprobiert hat, wird erkennen, daß es in vielen Fällen ein sehr guter Weg ist, den eingebauten Blitz (s)einer (d)LSR überhaupt reell zu nutzen, d.h. ohne störende Reflexe oder rote Augen zu erzeugen.Bei mir ist es inzwischen fester Bestandteil der Fototaschen, vor allem wenn man mit wenig Equipment losziehen will.Wer einen Blitzschuh mit Schalter hat, der den internen Blitz deaktiviert, muß in die Lasche eine kleine Aussparung schnitzen, bevor er sie in den Blitschuh steckt. Sonst wird der interne Blitz natürlich blockiert.

Yes, we all know that a "real" flash is what we need, but let's face it - we don't always carry one around. Yet our DSLRs come equipped with those little pop-up flashes that we have all used in a bind (and probably created a few enemies after people saw their mugs captured in that unflattering, harsh blast of light). Well here is a gadget to make your pop-up photos actually look GOOD. No, it's not a pro flash substitute, but it SURE BEATS the results of a naked diffuserless pop-up flash.So here are things THAT MAKE IT INDISPENSIBLE to a DSLR USER:1) It folds flat and weighs next to nothing, so it won't weigh down your camera bag or shirt pocket.2) It does diffuse the light for much more flattering, warmer and natural photos with a pop-up flash.3) It is so cheap, that you really have no excuse not to use it.Some cautionary advice:1) It won't work with Sony DSLRs without some major trimming with scissors (the back end is designed to fit into a standard hot shoe and Sony has a different format). But the good news is that it CAN BE TRIMMED.2) Canon DSLRs have some sort of sensor in the hot-shoe, and you will need to cut off a tiny corner of the hot-shoe insert in order for your camera to function properly. Otherwise, the Lumiquest blocks the sensor and the camera doesn't know that the flash is on. Luckily, the instructions that come with the Lumiquest have a clear diagram what and where to cut off for your model. As easy as snip-snip.3)You will need to use the velcro that comes with it. Unless of course you take flash pics extremely rarely and foresee only doing one at a time. Otherwise, readjusting the shifting lightweight gizmo is more of a distraction than a tiny strip of velcro.4) The Lumiquest WILL reduce the light output of your flash but the camera won't know that you have it on, so you should compensate for the exposure accordingly.So with all these caveats why did I give it a 5 star rating? Because your pictures will look SOOOO much better than without it. And in photography isn't that the marker?

I had high hopes for this item, too bad it didn't live up to them. I got it for my Canon Rebel XT so that a student of mine could try it - but the camera won't even fire the pop-up flash when the sheet is attached to the hot shoe(this is not an issue with that camera and other products), and the little tab that is supposed to attach to the hot shoe doesn't fit quite right - it's too big, and I assume was pushing down on the sensors. After reading reviews decided to trim it to make it fit better and then the flash would fire, but the little plastic tab wouldn't stay snugly in the hot shoe anymore unless I held it there. I also tried it on my 40D and had the very same problem.Also, I could tell right away when I put it on both cameras that the sheet does not hold itself far enough away from the flash, so even if I could get it to work right, I doubt it would diffuse much.Maybe this is designed for other types of cameras, but it would be nice to have that info in the item description.In my case, I'm glad it was only a couple dollars to try this out, I won't be recommending it anytime soon.

This isn't a comment on the product, but more a comment on focalpoint as a supplier. Tried to order but balked at the £50 postage charge quoted. Have emailed to check the postage charge but received no reply. May be good, but check the 'hidden' costs and pick your supplier.

As this product was advertised to be designed for the Nikon cameras, I was a little hesitatnt to get it for my Canon Rebel XTi.But the price was good and several of the reviews implied that it would work with other cameras' flashes; so I took a chance.It works great! It even includes instructions for what you need to do to trim the part of the diffuser into the hot-shoe of the Canon Rebel XTi's. The Canon Rebel XTi (maybe others, too) hot-shoe has a very small micro-switch right at the anterior end of the hot-shoe's right channel that, if depressed, disables the on-camera flash unit. So you have to trip a very small little square of the diffuser's hot-shoe insert to make sure that the little micro-switch doesn't get inadvertantly depressed.When I first go the diffuser, in great haste to try it out, I had neglected to do that little trimming. The result was the my on-camer flash refused to work. At first I was frustrated and just little angry. Then, with a little experimenting, I found out that I could get the flash to work if i didn't push the diffuser's tab so far into the hot-shoe.That got me to pondering if there might some sage words of wisdom in the instructions (which I am natorioulsly bad about *not* readin) and low 'n behold, there were very nice, clear, and definitive instructions for exactly how to use the difusser with my Rebel.A couple of little snips with some scissors and everything was perfect.I have now taken about 200 pictures using this little device and I can say that it is truly amazing! It folds flat and fits nicely and without bulk into my shoulder camear case; so I have this little difusser with me at all times.I normally use an off-camera flash and difussers on it; but at times it is just not practical to use that off-camera flash. This little difuser really fills in the gap and my flash photos have taken a noticable and pleasant turn for the better.I would gladly and heartily recommend this diffuser to anyone looking for a difusser for their on-camera flash.
