    This is a very interesting comparison. Ultimately it's the diameter that affects the quality of the softness of the light but like you say you can't really discern the difference between the two which surprised me this was achievable with the smaller footprint. I only wish my light dome had the grid and I hadn't actually considered using one until I saw your video on the SE.

    ​@@SidneyDiongzon thanks for the reply and the recommendation. It's difficult in small rooms to use the light dome and there's always the chance somebody will knock over the light stand if they're not watching.

    Finally a review on this! Thanks Sid. My space is so small in my room that I can't leave it up and will have to set it up everytime, do you therefore think it's worth it to get the standard Mk II Dome over the SE (do you think I'd get sick of attaching those manual rods everytime to the point that it'd probably discourage me from shooting anything? 😂)

    Dome 2 will be softer which is clearly visible in every single comparison video. Dome 2 is 15 inches deeper which increases distance between the 2 diffusions hence softer. It's better to make room and spend 100 bucks extra because the difference is clearly visible on KZread videos
