Elinchrom is releasing a new line of deep umbrellas and diffusers/reflectors to replace its Varistar umbrellas.

The add-on diffusers turn the umbrella into a de-facto soft box (in this case, one that conveniently folds up). The umbrellas will be sold in white, silver and translucent. They use 16 fiberglass rods, come with a portable sleeve and will be sold in 41- and 49-inch sizes.

As far as prices, you’re looking at:

• $107 for the 41-inch Deep Umbrella Silver or White
• $137 for the 49-inch Deep Umbrella Silver or White
• $97 for the 41-inch Translucent Umbrella
• $128 for the 49-inch Translucent Umbrella
• $33 for the 41-inch Translucent Diffuser
• $43 for the 49-inch Translucent Diffuser
• $48 for the 41-inch Black Diffuser
• $53 for the 49-inch Black Diffuser
