Hi all,
Does anyone know i just wonder if the ABR800 could be used with an umbrella softbox/ or a softbox?
The light looks a lot bigger than a normal monolight.
Thank you.

Buff ones. I've actually only used the Apollos. Hasselblad 500CM/ Pentax 6x7/ Mamiya C330F/ Minolta Autocord/ Kiev 6C/ Holga/ Elan 7N/ 5D

dmward Cream of the Crop More info | Jul 14, 2011 12:13 | #6 The Moon Units for the ABR800 are similar to an octabox in design. The ABR deflection ring pushes the light to the reflective surface making it an effective modifier. David | Sharing my Insights, Knowledge & Experience

I would use that rather than trying to shoe horn the ABR into a softbox designed for a regular monolight.

I'd imagine the 56" would get even Less use. Feel free to call me Case.
