Product Description
This is a flexible, totally CLEAR VINYL diffuser with an internal snap on dome. Designed to fit a select group of flashes (see list of flashes below) The inside of the Lightsphere is completely textured to make the light dispersion even more "soft" than it would be otherwise! Clear vinyl cuts down on light loss and also gives it a more sleek professional appearance while still delivering the soft diffuse light you demand. This version is designed for fast action, tight spaces and crowds. The new vinyl construction ensures a snug fit on a wide range of flash heads without the need for adaptors. Everything you asked for is finally here! The inverted dome allows you to softly diffuse direct light with a large, soft source without creating flare on the front of your lens. The P4 Lightsphere II fits the following flashes Canon 580EX,& 430EZ Sony HVL-F32X Vivitar 730AF The LightSphere System is also available in non see through Cloud Version What are the differences between the Lightsphere CLEAR and CLOUD? Which one is better for my situation? Which Lightsphere is best for any given setting is as much a matter of photographer preference and loyalty as anything. Many pros carry both styles in their gear bag for varying lighting situations. Both Lightspheres provide excellent diffusion and studio quality light from your on-camera flash. Both are made of flexible, premium grade vinyl and inclu de the i

5 out of 5 stars If you have one diffuser, this is it.   September 5, 2008
OK, there is no one diffuser to work in all situations, but this one is pretty darned versatile. And you can find knock-offs on a certain auction site.


3 out of 5 stars Energy Hog   July 5, 2008
I like mine just fine... it just sucks up way too much power. When Gary Fong says it shoots light in every direction he's not lying! Every time you shoot with this thing it throws light on your subject... and everywhere else around you. I'd rather light only my subject and not waste light on everyone else in the room.

If you want an energy-efficient diffusion system, this isn't it. Although it's great for blinding people at weddings when they're shooting over your shoulder :)

I really love this diffuser. It is especially great in small spaces. There not quite as much light as I would have hoped but I am sure I can rectify that buy getting the optional insert that doubles the amount of direct light.


5 out of 5 stars Great Buy   March 4, 2008
I really enjoy using the clear lightsphere. it provides a great lighting for my photography. This is a very good price for the product that i'm getting. It also came with an instructional dvd that was nice as well. most of the items i already knew but it was nice.

I am a serious amateur photographer and I have assisted local professionals as a "second shooter" at large weddings. Indoors, the Lightsphere does a great job of diffusing flash harshness, giving a nicer, more natural look than other similar products (like Stofen). Also, it is very light weight so I can carry it for an 8 hour event without wearing myself out. Outdoors, its benefit is minimal. Most criticism of this device on the serious photography forums comes from those who resent Gary Fong's (the inventor) fast-talking, "look at me--I'm rich" personality. If you separate Fong's personality from the product and let the resulting excellent image quality speak for itself, I think you will find that this product is a winner and deserves a place in your camera bag.

P.S. Note to Gary Fong... nobody (except maybe your trophy wife) is impressed by the ostentatious display of wealth on your website... the mansions, the speedboats, the jets, etc. FYI, individuals with REAL monetary wealth do everything possible to maintain a low profile.... drop the act pal.
