I'm going to pick up a couple fluorescent bulbs from coollights.biz.
I currently have a 42" umbrella that I was going to use, but would prefer to use a softbox.
Does anyone know of a softbox I can use with these two bulbs (probably this bracket to mount them: Twin Lamp Bulb Holder E27 Socket Flash Umbrella Bracket on eBay.ca (item 330492298012 end time 01-Feb-11 08:22:17 EST) (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&campid=5336080103&toolid=10001&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.ca%2FTwin-Lamp-Bulb-Holder-E27-Socket-Flash-Umbrella-Bracket-%2F330492298012%3Fpt%3DLH_DefaultDomain_0%26hash%3Ditem4cf2e0431c%23ht_1961wt_1139))
and that I could also use to mount a flash to?
edit:
I found this "cheat" (http://strobist.blogspot.com/2007/07/diy-ball-bungee-speedlight-soft-box.html) to use speedlights (flashes) with a softbox. So the big question that remains is can I use that dual flash holder with any softbox?
