The Para 88 FB is a 34" parabolic reflector with a unique quality of light that sets up and breaks down like an umbrella. This Broncolor Diffuser 2 for Para 88 FB Reflector is a translucent cloth accessory that fits over the front of the Para and affects a quite noticeable reduction in both the output and contrast of the light. The quality of light becomes softer and less sculptural while reflections and catchlights begin to resemble those associated with octabanks.

A perfect fit
This diffuser was recommended by Broncolor expert, Urs Recher, to diffuse the glossy surface of the large para when shooting multiple subjects. For one person, the Para 177 or 222 without the diffuser is amazing as is but with 2 or three subjects the one in the center gets the proper light focus and the people to the sides or above and below can pick up some inconsistent reflections. The number 2 diffuser provides one stop of diffusion - enough to even out the lighting across multiple subjects while still maintaining the characteristics of the original 24 reflective panels. It is very well made and fits tight, requiring the points on the outer diameter of the para to be pinched together slightly during application. It's not required but it does add a different look when shooting with the para fully defocused (extended) especially with multiple subjects.
Great Diffuser, Expensive
Great diffuser for the Para 133. I just wish it was not so expensive.
