          this is what I use to snap all my photos as well..

          Suggestion: Set up your lights as shown in the picture. DO NOT shine them inside the box...it throws way too much light on the subject.

          Those screens are designed to let in the right amount of light.

                Do those lights actually work Dave? I bought a tent without lights because i read so many bad things......... but my floor stand lights take up too much room...

                  Yes! I couldn't see it working otherwise... They allow me to leave the flash off, so no shadows... I love this thing... totally worth it IMHO. I used to have to heavily photoshop my pix to clean them up. These, I just auto adjusted the contrast (my Sony over compensates), and cropped them to size...

                        I actually use the lights more than the box. The set up as shown is great for clean product shots, but I like the that the lights are easily handheld so I can quickly throw light where I want for dramatic effects.

                            my wife bought one for my b-day and I used it for the Sheriff of Nottingham pics. It pretty much eliminates glare. Mine is a little bigger than Dave's, . . . . . . I hear that all the time though.
                            . . . . . sorry couldn't resist
