Hi everyone,

I'm still on a hunt for a good reflector for my portrait photography. I've seen some on eBay that might suit my needs but my concern is of the build quality of these reflectors. (Since, I believe they have no brand name behind them)
I'm sure some of you all have purchased from eBay and I was curious to know about the build quality, durability, and performance of the reflectors. Can anyone comment on these characteristics?
The link of two of the reflectors that I've seen are below so you all could get a better idea of what I am looking at.
Thanks for everyones help and I'm looking forward to hearing from you!

I bought one off ebay, I think, years ago which I never used until recently and the quality seems quite good. Having seen the Lencarta one that was donated to Wheels my one is not as good but I should get a Lencarta one at the end of the month :) Does Flash in the pan not sell them? His stuff is normally very good....
 
I just bought one of these off ebay. It arrived yesterday and quality isn't an issue. Obviously can't comment on longevity but I can't see any weaknesses in stitching or fabric.

Hello, you say that yours is "not as good" as the one donated to wheels. What do you mean that yours is not as good? What is that in reference to? Thanks talk to you soon.

The Lencarta one that was donated to wheels just feels better, not that there is anything inherently wrong with the one I have. I will have a Lencarta one in 2 weeks too as I am getting a complete studio kit to add to my existing studio!
