Dustbak,
btw, late thanks for the heads up! I caught Adorama at the last second, and they graciously held the free head offer for me - in fact, I'm only now picking up the kit today. it helped, i'm sure, that i'd gotten two Ranger kits from them before...
Question to all: it seems there is no hood for the 27in deep octa that can narrow the light spread. Might be a silly question but, Is it possible to use the profoto zoom reflector attached while using an adapter and the Elinchrom deep octa? Or, can one attach a reflector to a profoto head AFTER its on an Eli adapter? then i could do a blackwrap workaround.
The obvious retort would be: why not just use a Profoto zoom reflector and soften it up? but then I'd lose that wraparound coverage too...
What I'm trying to get at: a fashion-y light on a subject, in an environment, that somewhere in between a mere fill light and bringing the background down too much - hence, my need to control spill?
