Can anybody recommned a good diffuser to go with 480EX II Flash.

Skip the diffuser and learn how to bounce your flash. If you want a little light directed into your subject, grab an index card and a rubber band and save your money. I wasted money on the Omnibounce and found that I got practically the same results with the index card without killing so much of my flash output. Other opinions will surely differ on the subject of diffusers....

No diffuser if you are indoor with a white ceiling. Bouncing toward the ceiling behind the camera usually gives better results. Off camera flash is better but much higher learning curve.

If there is nothing white to bounce flash at, tie a white index card to the head of flash with a rubber band. Aim flash head at 30-60degree toward the subject. It works better than most diffuser. Most diffuser just burns battery.

Uh, yeah you need a diffuser. Get this one http://www.amazon.com …TF8&qid=1311434​866&sr=8-1 (external link)
Which also comes with a set of basic gels.
