I'm looking to buy a softbox and would like some advice.
I took a few portraits of my daughter the other night using what lighting kit i have (2 speedlights, umbrella, stand, wireless triggers and a circular diffuser) and was quite surprised how well they turned out!.
I dont want to spend huge amounts as i don't do much portrait stuff, but would like to do much more in the future, the problem is finding people to model!
So...i figured i'll need a softbox, stand and speedlight bracket.
I've seen some chinese makes on ebay that include the softbox (80cm) and bracket for around £40, to brand new from Wex for £145 (Lastolite ezybox II 60cm, bracket and wexpro stand)
I have the money for the expensive option and don't mind paying that much if the quality difference justifies it.
Also am i missing anything else out i will need, and what size softbox would suit me best? (head + shoulders, poss full body)
