The Para 88 FB is a 34" parabolic reflector with a unique quality of light that sets up and breaks down like an umbrella. This Broncolor Diffuser 3 for Para 88 FB Reflector is a translucent cloth accessory that fits over the front of the Para and affects a very noticeable 1 stop reduction in both the output and contrast of the light. The quality of light becomes much more like that which we've come to expect from a softbox. Shadows become open or non-existent while reflections become a soft glow.
