Hi folks. I am considering buying the lastolite Ezybox hotshoe box for my 600 EX RT. I'm undecided what size to get. I primarily want it for couples and I reckon the 30" box should do the trick.
OTOH I'm wondering if the 21" would be better as it might do couples and would perhaps provide a more interesting light for these and single person shots.
However, I'm also wondering if buying the 30" and grid would be the most versatile.
Any views?
Thanks

In any case I've ordered the 54cm one and I'm pretty pleased to get it sorted out
You want to make sure the hardware for mounting your flash comes with it. An interior baffle is a good thing to have as well. Read the reviews to check on durability and how well the outside diffuser panel fits.
Here is a similar one
I also tried the Westcott 28" Apollo but for me it was impractical. It wouldn't tilt and the flash head sat way off centre. I was disappointed with this product too. I know there are workarounds but having spent over £120 on it already I didn't feel like shelling out anymore to make it work after a fashion.
I know there are other options in the US but over here in the UK they work out very expensive and so we tend to look for Chinese product these days and I'm now looking at options on ebay.
