I know I need a speedring, but does anyone have information on a known good speedring that works? I've never bought one before and was also wondering if I could put pretty much fit any soft box on it? I was looking into buying a 36 x 48 to do full body model shoots. 1-2 people per shot.

Thanks again guys!

AFAIK you need the speedring for Elinchrom mount.

Alright, I guess I'll order a 36x48 softbox with it anyway and see if it works out. Thanks guys!

Whose softbox are you ordering? If you order one from Amvona, it will come with a speedring set up for Bowens flash units. It's simple and inexpensive to remove the Bowens insert and replace it with a Norman Elinchrom mount (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/350716-REG/Norman_812635_Speed_Ring_Adapter_for.html)

So do you think that photoflex softbox would be okay?

The Photoflex softboxes are quite nice, I don't think you'll be disappointed. :)

Sweet, thanks. I placed the order for both that speedring and the softbox! I can't wait to test them out!
