Re: umbrella vs. softbox
Uncle Frank, I have a couple of the Softliters and personally don't like using them. Like you, I thought it would be an inexpensive way to achieve softbox lighting, and maybe I didn't give them a fair trial period but they were a pain to set up. Also, I thought they looked a little goofy with this big ol' tube sock stretched over the body of my monolights, besides still having the housing of the light in the middle of the catchlight. Other people are probably very happy with the results from these modifiers, not trying to slam the product, it just didn't work for me. Craig
