If you look at the pictures you posted you can clearly see the AB1600 flash tube with Buff speedring or yours, the flashtube projects light to the entire surface of the softbox, unlike the partially blocked tunnel effect of your Rotalux adaptation to AB or Einstein.
I don\'t agree with this.... Your flash tube placement in Buff Octa or any other Softbox is not any further forward than a PCB flash using my Eli to Buff adapter with a Rotalux. I think the angle you see in the other image may be misleading.

Yet at the same time you say your further recessed \"focused\" flash tube sub-reflector in your softbox/octa/and strips are by design.
