Photoflex Umbrella with Adjustable Frame-45"

The shaft on my umbrella is 5/16 dia. To be more exact, the diameter varies form .309' to .3i4 depending where on the shaft themicrometer is placed.

I use it exclusively for portrait shots for my church directory. It is used with a Pentax FGZ 540 flash unit (off camera) as the main light source, plus, an additional smaller white (inside) umbrella with the second 540 unit as a 'hair highlight' source. I've been using this umbrella for a couple of months and I really like the flesh colors I'm achieving with the soft silver lining.
