Lastolite Collapsible Diffuser 50cm, 2 Stop

This is the smallest of the collapsible diffusers, sized for a head-and-shoulders portrait or a table-top set where you want to soften a hard source without building a scrim frame. Two stops of diffusion is enough to take the edge off direct sun or a bare flash head.

The fabric is double-laminated Duralite, which Lastolite's own testing puts at five to ten times the working life of competing reflector material, and the steel rim carries a lifetime guarantee. At 0.15 kg it twists down into a disc a third of its open size.
