Lastolite Ezybox Speed-Lite Softbox

[ganesh]

I am intrested in purchasing a Softbox and did some research and I think for my use the following should be enough,

The question I have for follow beyonders is does any one use them if so what is your feed back? Is there any thing else I should look at?

Thanks

What are you using it for?

Umbrellas are quite a bit cheaper and give you way more surface area. Just not portable like that one.

Alternatively, look at these if you want portability. They look small but are absolutely excellent. They also let you send some light up to the ceiling if you wish.

Also, Vistek is *usually* the single most expensive place in North America to buy camera stuff.

www.strobepro.com locally has some of these that seem pretty good when I checked them out. Maybe worth looking into.

umbreallas are definitely good to have but i was gonna say pick a portable softbox that lets u attach a grid for more control

Primarily to take pictures of my Kid. She is just over 5 months old and wanted to take some good pictures for the growing baby album

I know Vistek is not the chepest place. In this case the price is on par with what you can get from B&H however they want $25 for shipping.
