Lightform Products ?

[BayAreaPhotog]

I recently watched a Dean Collins Lighting dvd and he used Lightform panels. I did a search and found people talking about Lightform, but no link. Is Lightform still in business? Photoflex seems to be a close rival. Did they buy Lightform. If lightform still exists, anybody have a link? Thanks.

While I can't speak with definitive answers, it does appear that Lightforms are no longer being made. Both Calumet and Photoflex are selling the equivalent to them. Also, you can make your own using PVC tubing and rip stop nylon. (Or take the easy way out. I bought a Photoflex Litepanel material and am making the frame from PVC.)

If I remember correctly, Calumet bought the Lightform design and I believe the panels they make are the same. Photoflex is the same basic design, but the sizes are slight different so they are not interchangeable.
