Q: 7. Do we know of the difference in quality( light quality and build quality) between the new OCF range compared to RFI?I know they are designed to be more portable but at what cost?I can't find any reviews online yet.Cheers

A: The light quality should be similar to the light quality to the RFi light modifiers. Due to the intent of the Profoto B1 and B2 lights (designed for mobility or photographers on the move), the Profoto OCF light modifiers are designed to be much lighter, and are made from strong glass fiber. It was also designed specifically for these light fixtures, which use LED modeling lights instead of the brighter (and much hotter) halogen modeling lights used with Profoto's other studio light fixtures. However, due to the construction material of the OCF light modifiers, they cannot handle the heat of the halogen modeling lights, which the RFi light modifiers were designed for and are better apt to handle the heat. As stated, the light quality may be identical (or at the least, similar) to the RFi light modifiers. The build quality does differ, as the OCF modifiers are more lightweight (and the material make them more economical as well), but they are simply not recommended for use with all Profoto equipment; instead, they are recommended only for Profoto's OCF system. (Do note the B1 and B2 lights can accept all Profoto light modifiers, including the RFi system; it is just the reverse is not so.)

Q: 9. Does OCF series work with RFi Speedlight Speedring?

A: Absolutely NOT. The softbox will be damaged. The RFI speeding is significantly larger and will significantly over bend the rods of the OCF soft boxes. DO NOT USE. I learned the hard way by trying and I am still trying to bend the rods of the OCF softball to their original straightness.

Q: 10. How small does this soft box pack down and how long is the longest rod?

A: Inside the carrying case, the whole thing is 27 long, 6 wide and folds relatively flat. The rods are all 26 long.
