Bowens Softbox - ~40x40" (100x100cm)

This is a Bowens Softbox. It's front diffuser measures 39.5 x 39.5" (100 x 100cm). The Bowens range of soft boxes has been developed to offer photographers the very highest-quality light source at a very modest cost. Their silver interior and shallow construction offer a high degree of efficiency while a translucent diffuser ensures even light distribution.

For a completely even spread of light an internal diffuser has been included to minimise the possibility of hotspots. To ensure easy transportation of your softbox a simple zip up carry case is included as well as a speedring and an 'S' type adaptor for immediate mounting to your Bowens monolight.

Also included is a spare rod. Each softbox will accept all Wafer adapters and can be used with most popular flash systems.

"S" Ring
The adapter ring has a unique design that tilts out as the box is assembled. When the fourth wand is inserted into the adapter ring, the whole adapter swings into the assembly and locks into place -- no more struggling with a difficult fourth wand.
Suggested Use
Use this size for a three or four person portrait, full-length child portrait, or a 4 x 6' tabletop setup.

      What an excellent product. Very good quality fabrics and materials. This gives off even lighting on the subject and really fills up the frame with light.

      *It is heavy though ...

              Comments about Bowens Softbox - ~40x40" (100x100cm):

              It's a good quality softbox. It delivers a very uniform and wide source of light. It has a very good size when shooting little groups of two or three persons. The only problem is that in the beginning it's kind of difficult to assemble, but with a little practice that won't be a problem.
