Bowens Octo Box 150 Umbrella Reflector, Reverse Firing Softbox for Gemini Monolights

• It seems that everyone has introduced large octagonal soft boxes in recent years and their use has steadily grown both in portraiture and other photographic applications. The new Octo 150 is the latest design from Bowens. It has a number of advantages over other large soft boxes.
• It is not solely dedicated to the Bowens lighting system. Although the Octo 150 works exceptionally well on Bowens monoblocs and lampheads, it can easily be converted to work with virtually any modern studio system.
• The Octo 150 is a reverse-firing soft box. The head is mounted inside the box and pointed away from the subject towards the rear reflecting cloth. This scatters the light so that by the time it has reached the front diffusion cloth the distribution is completely even. Meter readings taken on any point on the front diffuser show a variation of less than 1/3rd f-stop.
• The round diffuser is completely seam-free and creates perfectly round catchlights for portraiture or even round reflections for everything else!. At 150cm in diameter it is large enough to create a very soft and flattering light source.
• For ease of positioning the Octo 150 has a large handle and the mounting mechanism is designed to lock firmly into position so any slippage is eliminated.
• The Octo 150 is supplied with a strong carrying bag and is simple to erect and dismantle. Any photographer who has yet to try one of these huge light sources is well advised to look at the Bowens Octo 150 as it offers exceptional performance at a very competitive price.
