Brett Allbritton Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Hey everyone, I'm looking to get a set of scrims for 1K Fresnel that I acquired a little while ago, and I wanted to ask a quick question. I saw some used scrims online that were a decent price, but they had that "burned" look after lots of use, reminding me a lot of how the protective screen on my Omni light looks. This might sound silly to ask, but does that affect the quality of the scrim at all? I know that gels tend to fade over time, so it made me wonder if perhaps a heavily used Double scrim might not really cut a full stop, for example. Does anyone have experience with this? Thanks!

JD Hartman Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I've never experienced any effect on the function of the scrim at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Allbritton Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 Thank you. Perhaps then I will save some cash and buy the used set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean Gonzales Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 The way scrims work is how denser the pattern, the less light they let trough. So it doesn't matter if the paint is burned of or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
