Comments about Bowens Bowens 36" Silver/White Umbrella with Removeable Back Cover.:

The umbrella is great as a shoot-through. The problem is with the removable back cover which is held in place by little pins stuck in the ends of the little extension arms of the umbrella. About half popped off the first time I tried pulling the back cover off. So, I'll end up using the umbrella as a shoot-through.

In retrospect I wish I had bought 2 dedicated umbrellas--a shoot through and a reflective one.

Comments about Bowens Bowens 36" Silver/White Umbrella with Removeable Back Cover.:

Nice size for a quick portable set-up, but I bent the umbrella the very first time I used it. it bent back ok, but it was upsetting to break it on the very first set-up!
