Glass Domes

[jacull]

I've always used UV coated glass domes on my strobes because I've just assumed

they're best. (They're the most expensive!) Has anyone experimented with

different domes and seen a difference? Obviously, a frosted dome will be softer,

but what other considerations have you seen?

Electronic flashes emit a lot of UV light. If you want accurate colors without a persistent blue cast then always use a UV corrected flash tube. Whether it's frosted or not is another matter.

 

This is not a matter of taste, style or personal choice.
