LumiQuestSoftBox with UltraStrap LQ-107S

Absolutely an improvement over the light output of a stand flash. Attachment works better than it looks like it should and I have had no problem with that, but it is the weak link. But a nice, soft, flattering light.

I truly could not tell a difference with this on my flash or off.

I bought this diffuser for a political event that I was photographing. It worked great. Of course a bigger diffuser would give softer light, but this is a good compromise size. I also have one of the Gary Fong dome diffusers which I like, but this Lumiquest is great for more directional light. I ended up just using the stick-on strap on the flash since I was wandering through a crowd and did not want it to get knocked off. The UltraStrap probably would have worked, but since this was my first time using the Lumiquest Softbox, I wanted to make sure I did not have any equipment issues.

Very well constructed and it works as advertised. I have a love hate relationship with this little SoftBox. It's a pretty good on-camera light modifier, but don't expect it to perform like an off-camera modifier sitting on a light stand. I never had that expectation, I just hope you don't either. It reduces flash output by around 2 stops. That should not pose a problem, but might be good information to know. Yes, I would recommend it to a friend.

Generally works as expected.

If the flash is used on-camera, this is the softbox to get. It's one of the smaller softboxes on Lumiquest's list, so I'm not sure what the trade-off is between how much the softbox diminishes the already-low power of a speedlight flash, and how much softening it achieves. Useful for certain circumstances, I'm sure. I haven't tried it out 'in the field' yet, as I use the speedlight off-camera (if I do use it) and for that, a larger softbox was okay (as it wouldn't interfere with the camera's focus, and would soften the light more).

Very disapointed in this softbox. Wish I could return it.

Using the Olympus E520, I love the quality of outdoor pictures...however taking indoor pictures with just the pop up flash wasn't cutting it. I purchased the FL-36r flash from Olympus and attached this bad boy - - WOW!!!! Whoever said you need to have several thousand dollars worth of camera equipment to take a quality picture, has never tried shooting indoors with the slave flash and the LumiQuest SoftBox attached.1 other thing....If you're not willing to attach the hook side of the adhesive to your flash, I recommend purchasing the strap that comes with this item - - albeit NOT worth the $10.00 additional charged, it is nice not to have to stick the "velcro" to the flash that would probably come detached when removing the LumiQuest from the flash.Attaching the strap to the flash was a breeze with a light rubberized backing which keeps the strap in place on the flash and the soft loop side of the "velcro" on the outside of the strap. The rough hook side of the "velcro" on the LumiQuest simply attaches VERY WELL I might add, to the soft side of the strap...which is why I mention that if you are not careful when removing the SoftBox from your flash with the adhesive velcro, it will come off - - save the headache and hassle, and just spend the money on the strap!Simple to say - - this was a WISE INVESTMENT!!!

Es ist unzutreffend, dass die Softbox mit Ultra-Strap heute geliefert wurde.Lediglich den Ultra-Strap habe ich erhalten.Die Softbox fehlt.Erbitte Information, wo die Softbox abgeblieben ist.Viele GrüßeJürgen Eickmann

Un petit diffuseur pour flash cobra, qui est bien fixé par un système de velcro.C'est quand même cher pour ce que c'est.

Sehr schnell klasse Material geliefert
