Review on Large 59 X 78 Inch Selens Oval Reflector With Convenient Handle For Professional Studio And Outdoor Photography Lighting, 5-In-1 Multi-Functional Reflective Surface by Seth Shea

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Bang-for-buck probably the BEST large photography reflector you can buy and VERY easy to handle and use! BUY IT!

This is a review for the 32x48" oval reflector. In short, this is a brilliant design, no pun intended, and for pity's sake get the oval reflector and not the round one, it opens up a whole lot more options for just a few dollars more. The build quality is plenty decent enough and I would expect this thing to last for at least five or six years (if not more) with normal handling. The zippers function well, the material is better than most of the cheap reflectors I've seen, and amazingly, it folds back up VERY easy and fits into the little zipper bag provided in a snap. First time using it, I wasn't looking forward to figuring out how to get this big thing into that little bag, and after folding it into the recommended "taco" shape, it pretty much folded up on its own!My only critique with the oval reflector would be that I wish they would've placed ONE MORE handle on the opposite side, because more often than not, you're using this thing vertically and the extra hand grip would certainly make it easier to handle when a little breeze kicks up, because this one will act like a sail if it gets breezy. Great for in-field or low-light work indoors, couldn't be much happier with this thing, and HIGHLY recommend this reflector - bang-for-buck I don't know how it could be any better.

Pros
  • Support Environmental Protection -- Multi Layer Design Also Saving 80% pigment loss than Ordinary Reflector
Cons
  • May not be able to effectively diffuse harsh lighting, as the reflective surface may be too reflective
