This is my 3rd Delamax diffuser:
2 for each of my Speedlite 430EX II
1 model corresponding to my 580EX II
I judge necessary to soften shadows.
I let them constantly on my flashes. They take a little more room in létui flash.
They are less bulky than a umbrella but do not replace altogether.
They not nempĂȘchent the use of wide-angle component of the use of flash or flash zoom.
