Hi All, I’m new to flash photography.

Many flashes now come with a round flash head. Are they better or worse than the old rectangle flash heads?

    The advantage to having round heads is that you’ll get circular diffusion. Practically this means you have more manageable hotspots. For shoot-through softboxes, umbrellas etc. this does make lighting a bit easier.

    It also means much better control for illuminating a background.
