Q: 2. What's this difference between this and the discontinued Chimera 1035?

A: The only difference is the shape of the back of the lightbank, the old model 1035 has a design that if it's not installed properly , you may lost some amount of the light bounced to the back of the lightbank. Now the new design of the back makes all the light will be bounced to the front so this makes a little more efficient. both of them will work like a dream. I strongly suggest to use a Quick Release Speed Ring from Chimera to your brand strobes. this also become more efficient timing in order to collapse the light bank for transportation and a Chimera Fabric Grid for occlusion of the angle of the light. All my softboxes are Chimera, and works perfectly.
