Rosco Fluorescent Lighting Sleeves/Tube Guards are a very reliable and cost-effective system for easy control of tough lighting scenarios- especially under fluorescents. In addition to the financial benefits of the sleeves, they protect against the potential disaster of glass shattering by containing the lamp within the end caps.

Rosco sleeves are constructed of a solid polycarbonate tube within which is held the specific filter. The choice of filters and combination of filters is endless - there are complete Roscolux, Cinegel or E-Colour color filter lines - something for every venue, every photographer, every cinematographer.

For T5 Lamps    Over 300 Colors Available    UL94HB Rated Polycarbonate    End Caps Protect From Shattered Glass    Easily Trimmed with Scissors

Available in sizes for T12, T8 and T5 fluorescent lamps

The T8 and T5 sizes contain a UV filter that minimizes fading

All standard sizes (2, 4, 5, and 8') are easily trimmed to accommodate any size lamp

Q: 2. Are these for full frame as well, or only for APS-C?

Q: 3. B & H salesmen told me the tubes only work with a macro lens. From what I'm reading on this site a macro lens is not necessary. I was at B & H an hour ago. I'm confused now. Do I need a macro lens?

A: Extension tubes will work not only with macro lenses, but with many other prime and zoom lenses as well. I could provide you with additional sources of information but B&H prohibits me from citing other sources or from providing you my contact information. Google topics like close-up photography' or 'macro photography with extension tubes' or 'how to use extension tubes' and look around. I forwarded specific information on this topic to B&H several weeks ago, but they must have decided not to use it.

Q: 4. Hi, how much weight it? I'm looking for a compact boom like Impact Multiboom Light Stand and Reflector Holder - 13' (4m) to use with. Does anyone knows if it is compatible?

A: Hi Guillermo, I don't know if your light stand will be usable with it. Know the Apollo Orb is a like a umbrella you open and which you stick into the holder. The holder also has a hotshoe fix for a cobra flash and seems pretty standard. Your reflector holder has to have a hole to hold an umbrella in. In terms of weight, it's very light.

Q: 5. Is this light surface bigger than 24 x 24 softbox? I mean, will be a bigger light source?

A: It's 43 in diameter, so the area of surface illumination is almost 3 times the size of the illuminated surface of a 24 x 24 softbox.

Q: 6. Hello, is one speedlight (relative to the size of he softbox) enough to do a half-body to full-body shot? Also another question, 1 speedlight is it enough for a group photo of 3-5 people? Thanks in advance

A: Thanks for your questions. Both answers rely on the amount of ambient lighting. Most modern speedlights produce about 75 watt seconds of power output. To create a half body shot, your 43" Apollo Orb should be 3-4 feet away from your subject, which a speedlight should supply enough power for this situation (may not work in full sun). For a full body shot, your 43" Apollo Orb should be 6-7 feet away from your subject (may require cloudy environment or indoor setting). For a group of 3-5 people your 43" Apollo Orb should be 8-10 feet away from your subjects and a speedlight will not do a great job unless you're in a cloudy environment or indoor setting. The great feature about the 43" Apollo Orb is that it's built on an umbrella mount so it can be used on speedlights, and also more powerful strobes for those times that you need more light output.

Q: 7. Will this fit the baja b4's?

A: Sarah,The length of the Baja B4 should fit in the reflective mounting position, however, the bulb will be close to the umbrella fabric and thus have a limited spread across the silver surface. As an alternative, I would suggest one of the Deep White Umbrellas and a spill kill reflector as an alternative to the Orb for your Baja.

Q: 8. I know of Nikon F camera body mount but not Nikon F V2 mount. Please explain the difference, if any?

A: The V2 isn't referring to the F-mount, but the version of the extension tubes. The V2 (version 2) of the Nikon F-mount extension tubes seems to be a slightly newer design, and might potentially have slightly better electronics.

Q: 9. Will it fit panasonic lumix g7?
