Lumiquest Softbox III LQ-119

Just received mine today, hmm. David Hobby highly recommended it to me so I figured wtf and dropped the $36 or whatever

Strobist: By Request: The LumiQuest Softbox III


Anyone use it, have tips?

I use mine constantly. It fits perfectly in my camera bag's laptop pouch and it's easy to use. Makes a great hair light, and can be fairly soft if you get it really close to the subject. Great for when you are working in tight areas too. Here are a few where I used the SB3 as the key.... It's also a great light to put on a lightweight boom because it's.... ehh.... light.

nicely done! I really like #2, you've given her portrait a lot of context!

I will certainly do that. From what I can see I can tell I am in the wrong business. $36 for some carefully folded vinyl is hard to swallow but like everything else in this hobby...

Thanks! I could not have gotten that shot without the SB3 and a Justin Clamp, there just wasn't enough room for anything else to diffuse at that angle.
