Following my post on home made beauty dishes, I got mails with tons of follow up to this beauty dish.

Thanks!

Good links, thanks.
But these all look like ring lights to me; versus beauty dishes which aren't necessarily meant to be used on the same axis as your lens (can't put a lens through a beauty dish).
