if its outdoors, you're just wasting batteries by having the stofen on - especially if the flash is pointed straight ahead.. Unless you're bouncing the flash off something, the stofen is pretty much useless, as it's just cutting the amount of light coming from the flash and making it work harder (assuming you've got ettl-2 on)

is it? because if its direct flash, wouldn't it blind the target? But i did make it compensate 1 point up on ettl-2. The result is quite good for me

the flash will still fire at the same brightness, regardless of whether or not you've got the diffuser on or not. that's what ettl does. it fires a preflash and then shoots a main flash, based on the reading it gets from the preflash. if youve got a diffuser on, it will adjust/increase the output in comparison to no diffuser. i believe theres at least a 1-stop loss of light with the stofen on.

i dont tihnk it makes much difference with 'blinding the target' because you still get the same amount of light coming from the flash head.

indoors the stofen can make a lot of difference. remember that the 'softness' of light depends on the size of the light source in relation to the subject. by having the stofen on and bouncing the flash off the ceiling for example, the size of your light source is whatever bounces off the ceiling, which in turn creates softer shadows. the stofen also helps to diffuse some light directly forward to kinda provide some fill light, otherwise all shadows would drop downwards from the light bounced from the ceiling.
