The Diffuser 2 from Broncolor is a dedicated light modifier designed for the Para 222 parabolic umbrella. The diffuser is constructed of a white translucent material which spreads and softens light, reducing contrast on the subject and preventing hot-spots. The Diffuser 2 reduces overall output by 1/2 stop throughout the frame.

Broncolor Diffuser 2 Reviews
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.
