Elinchrom Deep Throat Octa

When I got my Elinchrom BXRi 500 Studio lights I knew it wouldn't be the end of the story. When looking at lights it always seems you need another tool. For some time now I have been researching lighting modifiers. I get much of my advise from the forums at fredmiranda.com and this time was no different. I have had a great dialog going with a photographer from Sydney, Australia, Rudi Vavra. He has helped me immensely with the many choices of lighting gear... thanks Rudi. Carmen Miranda from the forum also had some good pointers which led me to the Elinchrom Deep Throat Octa. I have been eying out shots online taken with this softbox and I really like the wrap around effect it creates. When used with the front diffuser it works like most other softboxes. But when the front diffuser is removed the parabolic shape of this modifier makes for a more focused light. It is said to be a very versitile modifier so we shall see. I will write a review once I've given it a try. I am also in for a 105 cm tranlucent umbrella so I hope to able to test these additions to my studio next week some time.
