Comments about Westcott Westcott 60" Optical White Satin Umbrella with Removable Black Cover:

This umbrella works great! I even had one of my strobes go out on me and this was all I used for a group of 9 in a small studio.
-I love that I can use it as a shoot-through or a reflective umbrella!

Nice LARGE size. Other review was correct, but all umbrellas are advertised like that. It is 60" including the arc not across.

Comments about Westcott Westcott 60" Optical White Satin Umbrella with Removable Black Cover:

Maybe it's just my own ignorance of the topic but a 60" umbrella should, in my opinion, be 60" in diameter. This umbrella is not. It's about 48" in diameter. A call to Westscott revealed that they measure the arc length not the diameter. Maybe everyone does. I don't know. I was looking for a large reflective surface to use on location instead of a 3x4 softbox. It's "usable" but it's not what I expected.
