equipment recommendation - What is a good softbox for small hotshoe flash?

What are the good softboxes for a small flash like a Canon Speedlite 430EX, for example?

Answer

Lastolite make an ezybox which is pretty "good" but it really depends on how you term "good". Do you want:

• Small when collapsed


• Durable and long-lasting


• Big (bigger the light source, the softer the light)


• Affordable?

Have you also considered just using a shoot-through unbrella?
