Here are some quick shots I took in the backyard using just the D300's pop-up flash with the Phottix Pop-Up Flash Diffuser.

All shots taken with 60mm f/2.8D at ISO 200.

So we can see results which are clear. Now what do you think of the equipment and results acheived?
Will you use it regularly or not?

Very nice indeed Andrew! I suppose the diffuser make the apparent light source huge, compared to the subject.

Not huge, surenj, but certainly larger than the bare flash. My soft boxes make the light source much larger than this diffuser.

The further you are away from the subject, the smaller the apparent light source and the less value you'd get from this pop-up diffuser, although it will always be better than the bare flash, for softening the light.
