Just wondering whether anyone has done a review of the LumiQuest Softbox II - in particular, I am curious to know the differences between Softbox and Softbox II, and whether teh II will block the AF-assist beam on a 580EX.

thanks in advance!

The Softbox II (LQ-109) is slightly larger than the Softbox (LQ-107), and according to the Lumiquest website (external link), "is designed exclusively for use on bare bulb flashes such as Lumedyne, Quantum Q Flashes and Sunpak 120J."

I honestly don't know how well it would fit on a 580EX or whether it might interfere with the AF assist beam.
