Lowel DP Sper spot reflector

[Felipe Henao]

Wonder if someone has experienced this Super spot reflector, my main question is, does it loose the capacity to focus ?
As far as I can see the bulb still can be focused by moving up and down, or does the reflector locks the bulb in one position ?

I haven't used mine in a while, but i think the lamp can still move. I don't think it will focus quite the same way as the regular reflector though. If I can find it tomorrow in the studio I'll check.

Highly appreciate your information, Thank you.

This is the answer from Lowel :
Hello Felipe,
The Super‐spot reflector allows the lamp to move with the focus knob.
However the mirror finish of the reflector only allows a narrow portion of the range to produce the rather
aggressive concentrated beam inside the field. Thus the reference to being ‘fixed‐focus’.
