I got home and the Gary Fong Lightsphere that I had ordered was waiting for me. I did various tests with it, including people, my cat, and random objects. I concluded that the piece of plastic that cost me $50 did not help enough to cover it's ridiculous price.
Actually, I prefer the look of the photos that my 430exII produced while bounced without the diffuser. I returned the GF diffuser to Amazon and bought an umbrella kit. Sure it cost a bit more than the GF but it'll give me the results I want. Not really into diffusers anyway.
What really pisses me off is how Gary compares the GF diffuser's shots with ones that are taken with the flash pointing at the person. It's like comparing apples and oranges. Why doesn't he compare a shot of his diffuser with one of a shot with a bare bounced flash? Because he won't have an excuse to keep a $50 tag on that piece of plastic.
