I have the original Bowens Grid Reflector set (yes, in the 'L' size) plus the replacement 'S' size (BW1864) when they reduced the reflector throat size. Hugely useful over the last 5 decades but silly money then and still a silly price now (equivalent US $263.54 - yes, really). The original specs didn't mention angle but simply hole size.

Looking at Edward's offering, in your shoes I'd absolutely JUMP at the chance to get 4 (instead of my 3 Bowens) grids for the price he's asking. I've never found a use for the largest of my 3 - (with the ¼" hole) - while Edward's seems to give you much tighter control capability.


Phil ǁ Kershaw Soho Reflex: 4¼" Ross Xpres, 6½" Aldis, Super XX/ABC Pyro in 24 DDS, HP3/Meritol Metol in RFH, Johnson 'Scales' brand flash powder. Kodak Duo Six-20/Verichrome Pan. Other odd bits over the decades, simply to get the job done - not merely to polish and brag about cos I'm too mean to buy the polish!
