Honl grid light spread

[mmahoney]

Does anyone use the Honl grids? .. I'm wondering about teh size of the light spread with the 1/4 inch versus the 1/8 inch grids. Just an estimate is fine, like 10 feet away from a wall the light circle is 2 feet in diameter (or whatever).
Thanks,
Mike

I only have the 1/8 grid, I could run a quick test later today if that would help.

I just ran a quick test.

At 6ft:

- The 1/4 inch grid will give you approx 4.5 foot diameter
- The 1/8 inch grid will give you approx 3 foot diameter

Thanks ellio_n, seems I don't need to look.

Didn't want to steal your thunder! I just happened to have the relevant gear set up beside me.

I'm currently cannibalising my Honl grids, as described here:

I've got a couple sample shots in this thread (LINK (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=698805)). Not exactly what you are looking for, but can't hurt either.

No apology needed, you saved me some work. Thanks. :)
