5 in 1 Reflector

[Derwood]

Looking for a 5 in 1 reflector. I know the old adage "you get what you pay for", but will there be much difference between a $130 one from a photographic retailer and a $40 one on Trade Me (new)?

I got a 40 something inch one for $20 from one of those chinese imports store, it seems fine to me so far but I also havent used it a tonne.

Got one from photoworks, very reasonably priced. Bear in mind you'll need an assistant to hold it or a really good and to make good use of it. Once you have one search how to fold a reflector on you tube so you'll know how to get it back into the bag!

Thanks Raymond - will have a look. Agree re assistant. That's where wifey comes in...

The cheapo TradeMe ones are pretty good IMO. Lastolite make some wedge shaped ones that look like they'd be more manageable especially in wind, but the cheap 5-1 are pretty good value.
