[Fresherjohn]

been thinking about getting a small softbox for my sb-600.
any suggestions?

How small and what's your budget?

Lastolite Ezybox comes in a few sizes (cost between about £75-£120)... how small is small

Like this:

But can find cheaper elsewhere

There's also the "Magic" Ezybox clone, from Photomart for about £45

Yes, I've heard mixed reviews as to which offers the best value for money... obviously those that spend the extra say it's no contest... those that save the money say it's not noticably different :shrug:
Has anyone got both

Has anyone got both

me :nuts:


The Magic softbox only has one layer of diffusion material (but that is easily rectified) and doesn't fold down to such a compact size, as the Ezybox, but as to whether it's £30 better for the comparable size (I have the larger Ezybox) is debatable.

do you know of a collapasable one?

Both the Magic and Ezybox collapse, but the Magic just folds flat, whereas the Ezybox folds right down into a small pouch

Take a look on Utube and you'll see a demonstration on putting one up and taking it back apart

will do cheers
