    I am in need of some new double black net 10×10, ours has run its course.

    I forgot where I got the one we have (Wescott), but I just saw a 10’x10′ Wescott fabric for $800.00 ??

    We have a 7’x7′ Scrimjim diffusion kit (also made by Wescott)including frame that cost us $400 for so it doesn’t sound right.

    There’s got to be a cheaper alternative. I don’t want to go the DYI (I do mean in that order) way with screen rolls, any other companies out there selling double black net online ?

    The best prices I’ve found for such items is from the specialty grip vendors like American Studio Equipment and Norms Studio Equipment in LA. The manufacture these items in large quantity and offer substancial discounts when you buy direct as they do not have a conventional dealer network.

    Thanks John.

    Well, they have a 12×12 double net for $890, certainly cheaper by the square foot, but I guess I’ll have to get used to the idea that somehow that particular fabric costs 3 times more than the other types of diffusion 🙁

    Vince,

    I think you can get a 20-30% discount off that price.
