The 69" Rotalux Octa Softbox from Elinchrom is one of the most popular of the Elinchrom light banks, as the octagonal shape gives remarkably even illumination--within 1/3 f/stop across the entire nearly 6' diameter. It can be used very close to your subject for soft, even wrap-around light, and its light efficiency helps even small compact units give impressive exposure readings. The Octa comes with a durable carrying case for protection and portability. The unique Rotalux speed ring permits the softbox to be opened and closed without having to remove the rods.
