I'm looking at buying a Reflective and Shoot Through Umbrella because at the moment I'd like to avoid spending lots on a high quality softbox.
I've been loooking at
Lastolite 80cm Dual Duty Silver / Black / White Umbrella
And pairing it with
Manfrotto MN026 Lite Tite Swivel and Umbrella Adaptor
Or maybe the Lastolite Tilthead with Metz Bracket
But i'm unsure on how good the 2 in 1 Lasolite 80cm Umbrella. It seems good, having just one main umbrella and attaching the 'cover' to turn it into a reflective. Has anyone had any experience with this? I've read about the Manfrotto Adaptor and have been told that it's a good bit of kit as well.
Can anyone recommend a decent starter kit for umbrellas/stand? Or maybe even a softbox... I've been looking at the Lastolite Ezybox Hotshoe 60x60cm but that is damn expensive...
Any help appreciated,
Jay
