Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

First off, this three-pack is priced ridiculously cheaply. Don't let that fool you. They're not perfect (in fact, they can be a little floppy in the large size.) But the quality of light is great, thanks to the silvered walls and double diffusion. As the publisher of Strobist, I am constantly trying out new mods for small flashes. In the "mini" soft box class, these are my current favorite. The B&W photos above, of Cuban National Team boxer Osmany Barcely, is a good example of what this can do when used necessarily close. The waist-up photo was done outside, in the middle of the day, with the 8x11" box about 30" away from Osmany. The head-and-shoulders shot was done with the box about a foot away from his head, and rotated back towards the camera to control light on the left. The box lights evenly, has a great edge for feathering, and folds up flat. It also mounts very quickly, and cost next to nothing. What more could you want?
