Photoflex Liteigloo or Lastolite Cubelite??

I know both are pretty good companies and both of these are close in price. Photoflex one is a 31" vs Lastolite is 24" with a $12.00 difference. Do you have any experience with either one?

I doubt there is much difference, but I'm more a fan of Photoflex than Lastolite products. Photoflex made the first collapsible "Lite Discs".

Another good maker of light control is Chimera, and one of the best is Matthews Studio Equipment (aka MSE Grip) used by Hollywood on movie sets. Anything made by Matthews can take a serious beating and still function. **

Chimera may make a light box. I don't think Matthews does (think big movie sets).

I mentioned them in case you needed more light control options.
