You mean Lastolite Trigrip REFLECTOR??

I think Joe Mcnally uses alot of this. I think you will have to dig deep. These are titanium fibre and really durable.

There are relectors as well as diffusers.

I just realised that they had diffusers as well. They have a 2m umbrella for $570. :shock:

Unless you are a pro [working in the elements] I think I would be thinking flea bay.

This one on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Lastolite-LL-LR36 ... B000GEDLBU is a 33 inch with 8 different reflectiors to increase it versatility. Almost tempted to buy one myself.
Works out to about $155 aud, it says free shipping but you would have to go to the checkout to confirm.

thanks craig. shipping is not free outside the US unfortunately. i bought it from kayell yesterday, (the same one you linked to with the 8 covers), cos i have a shoot this weekend, so i got moderately shafted and paid $250. not freakin happy Jan. but better than paying $200 for just the diffuser panel which is so outrageous i wanted to smack the bloke across the chops when he told me.

Its seems to me that whenever I buy something business related I get shafted. I now look at things as an addon to what the customer pays. You will have to add it in to the charges for your next couple of shoots. :)
