      Comments about Westcott 42" Silver/White Reflector:

      This reflector is large, with silver on one side and white on the other. Its perfect for natural light photography.
      Its hard to figure out how to fold back. I resorted to a youtube video to figure it out, but after being told once, its easy to do.

                  When open, its flat. So the bounce is even, especially on the silver side where the refection is more noticeable. like the handle loop on the case and the reflector itself. Durable thick frame.

                        Gives great fill when I don't have the means to carry along my big Lastolite Skylite panel. Compact and easy to fold into its pouch. Super lightweight and seems durable enough.

                          This is just the right size to take on location and outdoor shoots and adds a nice, even fill light with the white side. The silver side is a little more specular but also fills nicely.

                          Overall it is well made, folds easily and fits nicely into its case for total portability. I'd typically use a larger reflector for fills in the studio but this could be useful in the studio as well.

                            I lost my last reflector and just bought this one. I love the square over round because it will stay in place if propping against tripod or chair.

                              Nice medium size for my assistant. I always reach for ambient light reflectors before I grab any stobes. When opened its nice and tight. The steel frame is very thick so if you're using the silver side the reflection is even, since it gets flat. The white side is a little weak though, I wish it reflected a bit more. The silver side is fine. The cover is nice and compact. Good buy.
