Customer Reviews (5.0 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Violet ★★★★★

The diffusion dome works great for softening the harsh light, and having both the incandescent and fluorescent filters included was a nice bonus for indoor shoots. It's lightweight enough to carry in my bag without feeling bulky, and the i-TTL metering is spot-on.

George ★★★★★

Bought this for indoor portraits and the i-TTL metering makes exposure adjustments almost effortless. The included diffusion dome and color filters are a nice bonus for getting softer light right out of the box.

Penelope ★★★★★

The diffusion dome really helps soften shadows indoors. I’ve been using it for portraits and the light looks much more natural.
