A lot of the guys on here are keen on the LightSphere diffusers, I think they are a kind of "one size fits all" solution. Might look at getting one myself, the sample pics from it look great.

Hmmm.. I wonder if the SB800's diffuser fits on the SB600, so I can use it while a lightsphere PJ lives on the SB800 :)

The LS PJ works on its own and the diffuser of the SB800 will fit on the SB600, no doubt.

they don't. Nikon manufactured them with this in mind so you need to purchase the SB800 if you want the Nikon diffuser. From memory, the head sizings are slightly different so it won't fit (unless you're happy to customise one to fit.....but it'd be much easier buying the Stofen option.

The Stofen one does the exact same thing (for the SB600).

Oh, sod. I was planning to use an SB-600/diffuser as a secondary remote flash, with the SB-800/LSPJ as the primary controller.

Ah well :)

...you still can if you get a Stofen diffuser for your SB600.
