I really liked this product. I used it to make my own top hat lighting solution while I am waiting for a more sturdy solution to ship. It works very well at focusing the light where I want it without leaking out the sides.

Rosco is known for their quality light control products, be it gels, filters, or in this case, the Cinefoil. It is the perfect addition to any light kit, as it can achieve the control results of snoots or flags for a minimized cost. Crafted with heavy duty aluminum foil that retains whatever shape it is shifted into, this foil will control all spill your lights may leak, while avoiding any reflections in the process.
Bottom Line: A must have for any controlled lighting setups.

Comments about Rosco Matte Black Cinefoil - 12"x50' Roll:
I use the black cinefoil for light modification, either as a home made "cookie"
or snooting down the snoots for a narrower beam of light. Sometimes I use it as a modifier of a specific shape for speedlights when a commercially made light modifier isn't quite the shape I need.
The cinefoil is very pliable and lends itself to other lighting issues not mentioned previously.
For some applications it should be a heavier guage aluminum.

Rather handy to shape light out of a Speedlight. Reusable, and low bulk. Only complaint is that the black rubs off after some use.

I used this product to work as gobo, strip lights, snoot, etc. So flexible and can be reused so this should last for a while.
