Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • The Elinchrom EL 26160 softbox has a long, thin rectangular shape (13x69 inches), ideal for creating a distinct strip of light for edge lighting or full-body soft light.
  • It offers a large surface area (33x175cm) for soft, diffused light, which is beneficial for portrait, fashion, and product photography.
  • Designed for Elinchrom Flash Only, it ensures optimal compatibility and performance with Elinchrom lighting systems.
  • The removable baffle feature allows for adjustment of light quality and intensity, providing creative control.
  • Its specific dimensions make it highly suitable for specialized lighting techniques, such as rim lighting or creating specular highlights.

👎 Cons

  • This softbox is exclusively compatible with Elinchrom Flash units, limiting its use with other flash brands.
  • The "Long Thin Rectangle" shape, while excellent for specific lighting styles, may not be as versatile for general-purpose softbox applications as more square or octagonal options.
  • The large size (13x69 inches) might make it less convenient for small studios or on-location shooting where space is limited.
  • The description does not specify if a speedring or mounting bracket is included, which is necessary for attaching it to a flash head.
