I ordered 430EX from Amazon, just want to check with the experts here if I need diffuser for taking portraits.

I see OMEW Omni-Bounce Diffuser  (external link) in Amazon. Is this good one?


Thanks,

I ordered the 580EX version of it. I get it tomorrow. I'll let you know.

But in meantime, I guess you really can't go wrong with it. They are meant to do a very basic job. I hope :-)

The diffuser you linked to is virtually worthless IMO. It will only work with walls and ceilings to bounce the light. If you've got walls and ceilings YOU can bounce the light. Learn to do that.

And then use a diffuser like the Lumiquest ProMax System with a bracket. Or without a bracket shoot landscape and crop for your portrait.
