Q: 2. how does this compare to vellum as far as transparency is concerned?

A: I've never used vellum but I have used this translum 2 ways. As a backdrop for headshots with a softbox placed directly behind and one in front to light my subjects. The backlight is just perfect for this and illuminates the subject perfectly. I've also used it with backlight only for maternity sillouhettes and it works great for that as well. It seems to be very durable but you do have to be careful not to crimp or bend it as it blanches out when pinched.

Q: 3. Could this double as a standard white backdrop when not using it to diffuse light through it?

A: You can use it as a background.

Q: 4. Is the material wrinkle free? I have heard of other brands that people complain that the fabric gets wrinkled and needs to be ironed out. I prefer to avoid that.

Q: 6. Which has a better "white" result? Having two strobes using a white backdrop from the front? Or using one strobe from behind the Savage Translum backdrop?

A: Having two strobes using a white backdrop from the front. also have some v-flats so there is no light leak

Q: 7. Is this good for full body shots?

A: Depending on your usage and height of your model, it would be sufficient if you are able to hang the backdrop 7' or 8' high and sweep a few feet onto the floor, with your model standing directly in front of the backdrop. If you would like more separation of your model from the backdrop, you will need to extend the background on the floor in post production.

Q: 8. How well does this matte black vinyl take a gridded light to create a vignette effect in a portrait? All the photos I've seen don't have it lit. Wondering if a light angled up at it would create too much of a shine or noticeable pattern due to the slight pattern in the vinyl.

A: This background could work well with a light that has a grid attached but as far what effect you will get, that all depends on which degree the grid has. With that being said, it would be best to experiment with different grids until the desired effect is obtained. While the background is textured to some extent, you may not notice that if you're shooting at a shallow depth of field.

Q: 9. How thick is this material?

A: This is the one you want for product photography. it won't show double reflection on your glossy subject. It means the reflection is uniformed. If the diffuser material is not strong enough. when you put softbox behind it. you will see double reflection on the glossy subject and that is no no.

Q: 10. Does it include a stand? The pictured box says a stand is included but it's not mentioned as being included in the description.

A: This item listing shows a Savage part number of CB186. The part number that includes the stand is CB186-KIT, which B&H also carries but is not currently discounted. So I would assume this sale item does not include the stand, despite the photo of the box that explicitly includes a stand.
