Default Has anyone tried this flash softbox?

I am just wondering what your thoughts are. It looks like a nice set up.

Well lot of info about this SB and others in the lightbox for speedlight thread.

http://photography-on-the.net/forum/...d.php?t=679614

I have the kit you mention and I recommend buying small SB or even medium SB. Extra-small is too small.

Is this the one you mean? http://www.photoflex.com/Photoflex_P...Q39/index.html

What connector do you use for the flash. They seem to say it is for use with strobes.

You can buy the medium (the one in your link) or the small one

You use the same connector/speedring as in extra-small softbox for use with medium or small softbox.

Or you can buy this on ebay for both softbox and speedring and bracket to connect it to flash for $39.99. You just need to buy a light stand to complete the kit.
This is the same size like the Photoflex Small. I have both and they equally good, but the ebay below is much cheaper but does not come with lightstand.
