I purchased the adapters from the ebay link above. Very sturdy steel construction and work perfectly. Three screws can be removed to create a flange that works nicely with Hahnel softboxes which use a spring loaded system to hold it in place (much like a reflector that is twisted into three rings for storage).

Thanks. I think I will try one of the adapters and go with the Einstein

Will do.

I am currently using Speed lights with a Bowen mount on soft boxes, strip lights and hair light snoot. I am wanting to switch to Paul Buff Einstein's, but they don't seem compatible with my mounts (at least I see nothing on the PCB site indicating they are). Is there an adapter, or am I looking at an expensive repurchase of proprietary soft boxes, etc? Or are the Einstein's compatible with the mounts and I just missed it?

Octaboxes were continuous lighting. No strobes were used

In the attached photo taken at a 50-year high school reunion, there is a green glare in the corner of both subject's glasses. The camera is a Canon t3i with a 18-55mm kit lens. Picture stats: f/4.5, 1/100, ISO 400, focal length 29mm. For lighting I used two Octaboxes with bulbs at 5500K. Setup was in the corner of a large hotel ballroom, lit with fluorescent, with custom WB set to fluorescent.

My questions are:
1. Should I have used AWB?
2. Is it possible to correct the green glare in PhotoShop using Color Curves Channels alone, vs. Cloning?
3. How can this be best avoided when shooting in a fluorescent environment? Subjects wanted their glasses on.

Many other subjects with blonde hair had a green tinge to their hair.

I am new to the forum, although I have viewed the site for several months. I have retired from an IT job and have been looking for a new hobby. I have had a Canon t3i since June, but previously used a light-weight Canon PowerShot extensively in the back country for about 15-years. Prior to that, I shot film with a Canon A-1.
