What are the advantage/uses of these convertible umbrellas? ( b and h link below) Instead of the traditional all white. Is it to block or create certain shades? I would like to start using one. Any common practices that are certainly a go to? Shooting on 16mm film. Microbudget. Thanks.

I use them all the time for broad key or soft fill lights. I've got a range of 7' wide Westcott ones. I think they're terrific - you can create a much neater setup off a single stand (than you can with conventional square frames of the same diameter).

They're no good outdoors (to risky in the wind), but for interior, they're an excellent tool.
