I have a very compact photo studio, and this 55cm octagonal softbox from brand K&F CONCEPT is the perfect sized lighting softbox to help me create soft portrait lighting in a limited space environment. There is also a 65cm and 90cm version as of this review, so plenty of options depending on your creative requirements.

The brand K&F CONCEPT continues to surprise me time and time again, with everything from ND filters to video rig and other photo gear being of a super high quality, and this softbox is no exception. As noted, it is an octagonal design, and in my opinion this creates a more balanced soft light than the average rectangular concept.

It also comes with a velcro-on honeycomb, which allows me to speckle the light for certain kinds of projects, which is a nice bonus, not all hexagonal or octagonal softboxes necessarily come with one, but I do consider it an absolute necessity.

Beyond this, there is an easy quick release for the bowens-style mount that is part of this particular product package, allowing you to use a speedlight flash instead. It is a very robust design with an aluminum construction for the frame, and the fabric of the softbox is evidently a very high quality nylon, so it feels very durable and I do not expect tearing like I would with a lower quality product. It also comes with a carrying case that appears to be using a similar nylon fabric design, so traveling with this unit is a breeze.

Overall, there is a lot to like here, and room for expansion with larger sizes offered, and an adaptable mount at the back. A complete package and a 5 star product for me.
