Large Umbrella

Hi,

Does anyone know where I can get a 86" reflector umbrella (like the Alienbees one) in the UK (For less than £150)?

It seems to be somewhat of a four leaf clover, and the AB one is $50-80 so why is the only one I've found so far £150?

Anyone?

Regards
Two Jack Studio

Cool

Hi, yes the umbrella I'm looking for would be used with the off camera speedlights to produce a softer light for beauty shots on location.

I have found a 43" umbrella on eBay which should do the job, although the 86" version would do a much better job if I fired four 580 EXIIs into it.
Oh well, the 43" will suffice.

Maybe I'll get to of them and stack them.

Thanks
