First, this is NOT a diffuser, but a device that bounces the light from the pop-up flash to a ceiling or wall. A diffuser softens the direct light coming from the flash but can't evenly light foreground and background subjects. Bouncing the flash is how professionals get great lighting effects with their expensive flashes. You've probably seen them at work at weddings or events, when they tilt the flash head to point up to the ceiling or sideways to a wall. So the Lightscoop instantly, easily, and inexpensively adds this kind of versatility to SLR cameras that have pop-up flashes -- without spending big bucks on another piece of equipment. I bought a new lens, for example. Maybe later I'll buy a fancy flash, but right now I have enough to learn. Check out the Lightscoop Users Group on Flickr to see what other ordinary people are doing with this amazing and easy-to-use piece of equipment.

Professor Kobre's Lightscoop, a bounce device for the pop-up flash on most 35mm DSLRs with interchangable lenses, slips over your camera's pop-up flash and allows you to bounce the flash like professionals bounce an expensive external flash. The Lightscoop is the inexpensive answer to natural-looking bounce flash and digital photography lighting. (Even professionals like it for casual shooting!) No more harsh shadows, bleached faces, red-eye, or cave effect from direct pop-up flash!Reviewers tell the story: "Bounce pop-up flash by snapping a Lightscoop over it, a little piece of plastic genius," Popular Photography, March 2008 "...just as if you had used one of those reflector umbrellas that the pros use," David Pogue, New York Times, "Circuits." -- "It slips into your camera's hot shoe, fits right over the pop up flash, and redirects the camera's flash to a ceiling or wall. That's bounce, baby, bounce... as essential as a lens cap," DingbatMag, the monthly review of Cool Tools "Your pop-up flash doesn't have to suck... I was stunned by the difference," Terry White's Tech BlogThe Standard version has a normal mirror and is used in most situations.Compatible camerasCanon 5D, 7D, 10D, 20D, 30D, 40D, 50D, 60D, Rebel XTi OR 400, Rebel XT OR 350, Rebel XSI or 450, Rebel XS or 1000D, Rebel T1i, Rebel T2i Fuji FinePix Pro S SeriesNikon D40, D40x, D50, D60, D70, D70s, D80, D90, D100, D200, D30
