Just thought I'd share. I got (2) 32" reflectors for $11 each. These are almost $60 each at my local camera shop. I also have a 43" coming for about $19 total. I'm not real big on China goods but after sending lots of money to Japan for good stuff... I need a break with some cheap stuff. haha The quality is just fine too and these reflect light just as good as any others. They fold up nicely and come with a little storage bag. Totally happy with mine. Anyway, just thought I'd share another cheap accessory if anyone is interested.

      wow - SCORE! I love my 42" 5-in-1, which cost a lot more than that! At that price, have now ordered this as a second one and in this slightly more compact size .... Thanks for posting!

      One thing I like about my "high-priced-spread" reflector kit is that the two white diffusers are 1 & 2 stop scrims, which can be stacked if need be. I don't think the "bargain" set can be used like this, but it would be a nice redundant set for me.

      I've used my existing 5-in-1 as a scrim - I'll be interested to see how this one compares. I figure for $11 including shipping I can't really go wrong... even foamboard costs about $5 a sheet!

      Hi There,
      Thanks for the link, I just bought a 43" set for £11.01p sterling. If I went to my local major camera store, it would cost me £5.00 in fuel plus a parking charge of £2.50 so it kind of makes the actual cost £3.51 !! (using my twisted sort of accountancy logic when explaining to my wife that I've bought some more toys)

      5 in 1 kit
      Here's another lowball price for a 5-in-1 reflector kit. I ordered one, but haven't received it yet, so can't vouch for its quality. First saw this on another forum, and some that ordered and received it were pleased with the quality.

      Coming from HK, I would expect 10-15 days if nothing goes wrong.

      The link for the larger ones (43") is no good on the site.......I need larger, as I already have 2 sets of Chameleons so I could have 2 of each color.....................................

      Yes, I got them. Haven't had the chance to put them through a full workout yet, but so far they seem to be of decent quality and work as described. How they will be long term I can't answer at this pint, but will follow up as need be.
