The main frame was made before the 7" reflectors had a grid lip, so it was more of a selling point some time ago, but it is useful information to know it can still hod grids if needed.
The barndoors fit quite solidly on the 7" reflectors, as the square is slightly smaller than the outside diameter of the reflector. There are relief cuts in the barndoor frame to accommodate the extra diameter, which holds the barndoors on.
Barn doors and grids together are no problem for the 7" reflector. Gels and grids are not much of a problem. Using the barndoors with gels is kind of a kludge with the 7" reflector, and not something I would want to do. Using the mainframe, you have quick change capability with grids, snoot (which does require the main frame), barndoors and gels.
