Elinchrom OCF Wide Reflector 16 cm (model 26090) for off-camera flash and light shaping

Elinchrom OCF Wide Reflector 16 cm is a compact light-shaping accessory designed for off-camera flash use with Elinchrom OCF systems. Its 16 cm diameter produces a narrowed, controlled beam that emphasizes highlights and adds subtle contrast while maintaining relatively soft falloff compared with small bare flashes. The reflector is lightweight and mounts directly to compatible OCF flash heads, making it suitable for portable portrait, product and close-up lighting setups where directional control and quick attachment are required.

Advantages

The wide reflector concentrates light to create defined highlights and improved beam control without requiring large modifiers. Its compact size improves portability for on-location shoots and quick changes. The design enables predictable light falloff and repeatable results, and it is compatible with common OCF mounting systems for straightforward attachment and removal.

Suitable for

• Portrait lighting where controlled highlights and moderate contrast are needed
• Product and still-life photography to isolate details and shape objects with directional light
• Close-up and tabletop setups requiring compact, portable modifiers
• On-location shoots where quick mounting and compact gear are priorities

Key specifications

• Effective diameter: 16 cm
• Type: wide reflector for off-camera flash
• Beam characteristic: narrowed, directional beam with controlled falloff
• Mounting: fits Elinchrom OCF compatible flash heads
• Construction: lightweight, portable design suitable for handheld or stand-mounted use

How to use

Attach the reflector to a compatible Elinchrom OCF flash head following the mounting alignment of the OCF system. Position the flash and reflector to aim the beam toward the subject, adjusting distance to modify falloff and highlight size — closer placement yields tighter highlights and stronger falloff, while increasing distance softens the transition. Combine with grids, diffusers or other OCF modifiers when required to further shape the beam or reduce spill. Check exposure and adjust flash power to maintain desired highlight intensity and shadow detail.

Usage recommendations

Use the reflector for controlled directional effects on portraits and small products; pair it with a low-power flash setting for subtle highlights or increase power for pronounced specular accents. Protect the reflector from impact and store in a padded case when transporting to preserve shape and mounting surfaces.
