Calumet Speedlight Modifier System
£99
Calumet’s kit consists of a diffuser for softening light, a snoot for focusing it, and a compact beauty dish for flattering portraiture. The elliptical diffusion dome is a rigid plastic design that’s bulky compared to flat-pack alternatives. It blocks around three stops of light, which is a lot, but at the same time it does produce excellent light softness.
The corrugated snoot is also bulky; while its metal construction enhances durability and heat-resistance, this is one modifier that could really benefit from having a collapsible design without compromising functionality. At least two honeycomb end caps are included to create an even tighter beam.
For optimal portrait lighting, the 150mm metal beauty dish does a decent job of softening light while still preserving
