Jim Sanderson Offline • • • • Upload & Sell: On p.1 #2 · 22" Beauty Dish 15° or 30° Grid? Have both. When I use a grid, I use the 30 most of the time. I'm usually fairly close to the subject with a dish to begin with and there's quite a bit of loss of light intensity with the 15. Jim Aug 20, 2012 at 10:42 PM

Even with the 30 you can't adequately cover much more than a half length shot at optimal dish placement distance of about 3 feet. Once you move the dish away from the subject you will get wider coverage of course, but you also start to lose the unique BD lighting quality. Aug 21, 2012 at 08:36 AM

Whether I use any grid or not depends on how tightly I need to control the lights area of coverage. I'm usually on location, so that's where it makes a difference: How tightly do I need to control the spread of light? If I had a run of jobs where the answer was coincidently "really tight" for every location, then I'd wind up using a tight grid a lot that month. The next month, maybe not. Aug 21, 2012 at 12:29 PM
