Our opinion:
A good background is an essential element of studio photography. This chromakey reversible and collapsible background by Lastolite is really quite brilliant. Not only does it collapse to 1/3 of its original size, it also is so easy to set up: it just snaps open. Made from crease resistent fabric, it is location friendly because it is easy to transport. It comes in its own (Lastolite blue) zipped carrying bag which has a carrying handle to throw it over your shoulder when you do take it out. It is much easier stored than a roll of paper, for instance - and you can even get away without lightstands or other forms of background support systems because you can just lean it against a wall. Also, it is very useful to have two colour options when shooting any subject.
We can only recommend this background whole-heartedly; if you only get one background in your life, this is the one to go for because it is versatile and really two-backgrounds-in-one. Bear in mind that it makes good long-term sense to choose the largest reversible background you can afford so that you can photograph not only individuals but also groups of people. 5 stars from us ...
Manufacturer's description
Chromakey has been used in film and cinema production as a tool to mix two or more images together in all aspects of the art. It is increasingly used in digital photography to cut and paste a subject onto a background.
