I'm trying to determine how much of the Photoflex small internal baffle and large front diffuser I need. I can't find measurements, can someone tell me what the internal baffle's is at least? I think I know where the front diffuser's size is actually. Thanks!

You might want to clarify the questions a bit. I had to read through it 3 times, and Im still not sure what you are asking.

Internal baffle's measurements for Photoflex softbox? I hope it's clear now :)

Photoflex makes many different sized softboxes. It'd be helpful if you were more specific about which particular model you're referring to. Also, have you tried contacting Photoflex directly?

B&H has the internal baffles listed as Extra Large, Large and medium but no measurements, while the dome faces have measurements. Photoflex make any more? As mentioned, I'm thinking of getting a large front face.

As for the internal baffle, I wanna make sure it's not too small but there aren't any measurements that I was able to confirm.

Thanks for the response.

Since this material is cheap, I wanted to try to mount it above my jewelry with some PVC piping for maximum flexibility and because it's much cheaper :)
I'm using papers right now but there's too much of a color cast and this should fix that from what I understand. Thanks!

Then what does it matter what size Photoflex uses in their boxes? Get some sheer fabric/gauze at a fabric store.

Roscoe sells several different softbox materials. I would just buy a bunch and cut it as needed.

Jon, because if I ever needed some more diffusion for whatever reason, I could cut it up and stack to preference. Since this is pretty cheap stuff, I'd just rather go with the safe route and not buy fabrics that are not made for photography.

Mark, I'll check them out. Thanks!
