I went to the local photo store to buy a soft box. They didn't have it in stock and its going to take 3 weeks to get it. So I wanted to order it online but I don't know what the number (from the store) means so I can search it. THis is what they told me.

SB/sb2028

I assume the sb is softbox but I can't find it.

That could be the store's own ID# for the product. Some stores do this occasionally. I'd call them asking for the manufacturer's model # and hopefully that can lead you in a better direction.

What store was it? And what was the size of the soft box?

You wouldn't happen to know the brand of the soft box, would you?

could be as simple as the measurements... 20x28?

Looks like it may be from RPS Studio Softbox... SB/SB2028 is thier equipment but I could not find a vendor online (didn't search too hard either :-P )

it was given to me from Sahara Camera. He didn't tell me the manufacture or size, just said that was what they sold for my lights (which I don't know what they are because I bought them from there he knew)

OK, fine. Here it is... the very top product. Was that what you were looking for?

Try to Google with keywords 'SB2028' and 'photo', and you will find product info and other sources to buy from

Thank you, I think that might be it. However it is much cheaper at the store here so in this case I am better off buying it there.

Thank you so much for your help though.
