We've moved into a significantly smaller house :( So I've pouted about it for a few months and now its time to move on and make the best of it. I need to minimize my studio equipment because I can't have a dedicated room for my studio anymore. So....

One of the biggest things I have are my softboxes. They take up a ridiculous amount of space (and to think I used to leave them not only assembled, but in place!) and are a royal pain to take apart and put together. What to do?

Yesterday I found these Ezyboxes from Lastolite. I am about to order them this afternoon, but thought I would first ask here if anyone has any personal experience with them?? What do you think guys?

I can just imagine myself having a shoot and then collapsing these babies up and putting them INTO a cupboard. What a dream!

There is quite a difference in light quality from a large to a smaller softbox... Apart from that: there's also a kinda 'cross' between umbrella and softbox. Like this (http://www.dg28.com/lastolite.html) Might be worth a try.
