I recently bought these ancient Norma Sinar 13x18cm holders in Germany. Presently they are loaded with cut-down 8x10 Fuji HRU XRAY film. Will be testing these soon. These are unusual holders and...

I have three or four Chimera soft boxes to fit Broncolors from small to XL including strip lights which is extra narrow box. These are GOOD too :) I will have to dig these out of storage

The classic rule is that the diagonal length of your soft box determines the optimum box/subject shooting distance. A medium size box would prolly do you well. Recently I am using an old restored...
