mbell75...Many have it on here, and talk about it in this thread, and even have pictures with it posted. I just bought mine, and have not been home to use it yet, so I can't say anything about it yet, but from looking on here, I am sure it will be a great add to my equipment!

Thinking of adding the 22 inch beauty dish to go with my large octabox and other lights. Anyone have it? How is it? Any sample pics?

Rolla, Love the shot and the setup. Its good that you are getting a little light where you can see their eyes. My only thought is the guy in the front and far left cant pull off the menacing glare all that well.

Ok, so I just joined Flickr. Everyone else is doing it! Here is a 2 light setup with a B800 and 400. Large octabox on the 800 and a 20 grid on the 400. Oh and its a small bikini top so it may not be work safe :p
