This stuff is really heavy duty, which is great because it keeps its shape when you fold it around a light.

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.

Comments about Rosco Matte Black Cinefoil - 12"x50':
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.
- Was this a gift?:

Pros
- Generous amount
- Very pliable
Cons
- Needs to be heavier
Best Uses
- Light modifications
Comments about Rosco Matte Black Cinefoil - 12"x50':
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.

Gaffer essential to cut light create quick gobos extend barn doors... I choosed the 12" version over the 24" to make it easier to bring it on location.

Comments about Rosco Matte Black Cinefoil - 12"x50':
This foil is an absolute must on any set. It has so many different uses than your standard barn doors. Keeps the light and shadows where every professional photographer wants them. Totally under control. Can get very hot so caution must be used working with it.

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