Comments about Photoflex Photoflex Umbrella Convertible 45":

These umbrella's are great. They're sturdy and feels like good material is used, the black cover is easy to take on and off (as long as you read the instructions are apply common sense). Currently I'm shooting 580EX ll through these umbrella's - color and spread of light is great.

Plan to buy a second one.

Comments about Photoflex Photoflex Umbrella Convertible 45":

I purchased two of these umbrellas to replace some older worn out umbrellas of a different brand.

Very pleased.

They're solid, constructed very well, and perform as I expect them too. And they look great.

It's nice to have two umbrellas in one. A bounce and a shoot through. Works very well and takes up less space for me.

I'd recommend them without hesitation.

Comments about Photoflex Photoflex Umbrella Convertible 45":

I bought a couple of these umbrellas to replace some older worn out umbrellas that need to be retired.

I was very pleasantly surprised when they arrived. They constructed this umbrella very well. This is not a flimsy low end umbrella. Great quality.

This is also my first purchse of a Photoflex product and I'll likely be looking at more of their items now since I can confirm on the quality of their equipment.

I'm using them with Alien Bees B800 strobes and they work perfectly. I know I can look forward to many years of use with them.

I can recommed these umbrellas without any reservations.

Comments about Photoflex Photoflex Umbrella Convertible 45":

I have ready many reviews of people complaining with many umbrellas (other manufacturers) that the black covering is a "nightmare" or "impossible" to re-attach... this model from photoflex, is very smooth I had no issues with it at all taking it off and putting it back on again... very satisfied and a very good purchase.
