after going to the bridal workshop this weekend, we have decided that we need one. What brands do you like and what are the prices for them. I really liked the rectangular one Raymond had on sat. Any info would be appreciated.

I believe Raymond's reflector was the California Sunbounce... expensive!

I still say one of us should've stolen it when we were there! Anyways... I'd start off with a collapsible reflector; they're much cheaper.

I've got a round 5-in-1 that I love from SP Studio Systems.
It was around 50 bucks.
Has black, gold, silver, white and sheer.

Has anyone used the Lastolite Tri-Grips? I'm curious if they really offer a big advantage in being able to hold/setup the reflector quickly for those of us without assistants. :)
