Description
The Sea & Sea Dome Diffuser (SS-28116) is designed to soften and evenly spread the light output of your underwater strobe, reducing harsh shadows and minimizing backscatter in underwater photography.
By converting direct flash into a wider, more natural light distribution, this dome diffuser helps achieve smoother illumination, making it ideal for wide-angle shots and close-focus wide-angle photography.
