“While I’ve been using Chimera products for over twodecades, their strip banks were not part of my batteryof tools, until recently. I’ve been creating a body ofwork expressing the combined power of nature withhuman physicality and spirit. The strips, in all theirsizes, provide the essential lighting control I need tomake exactly what I want to produce happen, whetherI am on location or in the studio.”
- Jeff Boxer
“Chimera makes the best softboxes I have used. Theydon't yellow over time and provide all the accessories Icould ever want. I almost always use them with theeggcrate fabric grids to contain the light.”
- Michael Grecco
“I once had the pleasure of hearing a lecture by thelate, great W. Eugene Smith. He said he used onlyavailable light. Any light of any kind that was available,he would use it. Light is the foundation, spirit, and soulof our photographs. Chimera is some of the great light available in my opinion.”
- Jack Reznicki
“With a Chimera F2 the sky has no limit; it is virtuallyat your disposal. You can count on the “Golden Hour”at any time of day.
If photography means to write with light (from the Greek),then owning a Chimera F2 will offer you the talent of afine calligrapher to trace the line of any motor vehiclewith a clean and uninterrupted highlight. It is the onlyavailable lightbank large enough to do so and yetportable enough to carry on location.”
- Tom Zimberoff

There isn’t asmoother, more even wrap aroundlight in the business.”
