beauty dish help

Hello I was wondering, with a beauty dish do you use it with the diffuser (the hub cap) or without it?

anyone?

I'm not sure what you mean. My beauty dish has a diffuser sock that can be used over the front of the dish to soften the light a bit more, but you can use the dish with or without the sock depending on the look you want from the light.

Not the sock, but the small circular thing in front of the might. Do you keep that on or take that off.

In my beauty dish the center diffuser is fixed and cannot be removed. But why would you want to remove it? That would defeat the purpose.

Exactly - that center diffuser bounces the light back into the bowl of the beauty dish. Without it the quality of the light would be more like a naked bulb.

Mine is fixed as well, and couldn't be removed even if I wanted to do so.
