What size umbrella's you using?

13 years 2 weeks ago #46018 by Big Kevin
I'm ordering some new lighting equipment, currently I have a couple 32" white umbrellas and thinking about getting some larger ones. Which would you suggest? I have been doing more studio work and also do weddings too. Have any of you experimented with the Hensel 41" or their 80". Lastolite has a All in one 34" I think I might pick up. The 4' Profoto looks pretty nice also.

Help me out please. :cheers:

Out of the ones you listed I would go with the Hensel 41" or comparable brand 40"

I have a 60" Take a look at the Alien Bee site and they are quite reasonable. I find the smaller ones don't spread enough.
