As far as I know calumet lights take elinchrom mounts. So just search his store for elinchrom mount modifiers.

I might pick up one of the 32x48 softboxes..... can't decide if I feel like I really one since I already have a 48" octobox

Same question here. I'd be using the Sigma flash, I think it's about the same size as the 580 though. Or could some modification be done to make it fit? This is just a great price, I want in on it, haha.

I'd also like to know how one would go about using a speedlite with this! Ships to Canada too!

What's a basic setup for 2 genesis 200 lights? Should I go with oct or box?

The easiest way is to buy the Bowens version (same price) softbox. Then get a mount like this....

or this...

However this will start to lock you into a mount. So keep that in mind. But you can buy other speed rings to mount it to other brands.

You know, that 60% off isn't anything special, right?

looked at this and bought 2 fotodiox 24" ones with speedrings, just so i could have the speed rings. 25 for softbox with speedring, beats 20 dollars for the speedring itself.

researching this, i found visco octogon softboxes on ebay, great seller with great feedback, they come with 2 white diffusers and the eggcrate grid! bought the 6.5' one for $130 shipped. The fotodiox ones are nice, but add in the grid and it starts to get expensive, fotodiox charges a lot of the eggcrate grid. item i got from ebay

he sells them in many sizes with many different mounts.

the above would be 60"
