I just purchased the sto-fen omnibounnce and it works reasonably well indoors with appropriate bounce objects (ceiling/walls) although still a little harsh.
I'm going to be shooting at a graudation (think people/portraits outdoors in the evening) where the sto-fen so looking for a nice soft diffuser also... portable and not too expensive.
Perhaps the lumiquest softbox?
I have a lot to learn on flash photography and appropriate bounce angles/techniques/diffusers
I generally only shoot with off-camera flash, and I use umbrellas, softboxes and a light tent.
