Re: umbrella vs. softbox
Add me as another fan of the 60" Softlighter II. But is just another tool. I have a variety of boxes, umbrellas, softlighter, scrims, etc.
I've used the Softlighter as a main light and also as a fill from directly behind/over the camera position. Works great on location, faster to set up than a softbox. I use them with Dynalites (head and pack) and Excaliburs (monolights). I have not used them with speedlights.
