[QUOTE="pnomanikon, post: 771264, member: 43342"] I just bought a used ("like new") Nikon SB-700 flash for my D-7500. When reading the manual, it mentions a Nikon diffuser dome, which was not included. We have a grandson who just turned 1, and we have only been able to visit twice because of distance and COVID. On the last trip, I used the built-in flash with mixed results. We are going down for Thanksgiving in a couple of weeks and want to get some better photos this time. I'm concerned about the bright flash going off directly aimed at his young eyes, so I'd like to do bounce flash off the ceiling. (I try to keep at least a 5-6 foot minimum distance when using flash) I see many people use a white index card rubber-banded to the flash and have the flash pointed up for bouncing off the ceiling. Looking online, I see a Sto-Fen Omni Bounce OM-700 diffuser for $11.99. Would this be better than the index card? Is the small white card (appx 1" X 1.5") that is built in to the SB-700 enough by itself? Or - do you have any suggestions for other diffusers? Thank you! [/QUOTE]
