Matthews 1/4-Stop White Silk 8'x8'

Matthews 1/4-Stop White Silk

Quarter-stop silk in white for 8'x8' frames. It takes the edge off hard light at a cost of only about a quarter stop - softened, not killed. The 8 ft. x 8 ft. size sits between the 6x6 and the 12x12: room for one or two people, quick to rig. Frame not included.

All fabrics were tested in a black chamber with an incandescent light source at one end and the fabric positioned 2/3 of the way between the source and the digital meter.
