"The BXRi 500 monolights are properly rated at about a 4.8 to 4.9 out of five. The somewhat hokey 26 inch softboxes drags my rating of the two light kit down to 4. Frankly, the old BX 400 hundred kits with their umbrellas and reflectors was more functional/versatile than are the new kits with the BXR …"  Read Full Review »
