Should be approximately the same as 42" V1, and includes Buff or Elinchrom on axis speed ring and conventional off-center 7mm shaft.

How can I order a 86" and a new 51", to receive them in a reasonable timeframe?

Thank you.

(I just read the news on the delay of my EINSTEINs to Europe, hope the CE-version of PowerMC2 Receiver module will be ready in fall.)

The fastest way to get a PLM would be to place an order/preorder through your appropriate seller. It sounds as though you are in Europe, so placing an order through Paulcbuff.eu.com as soon as possible should get your PLM as soon as possible. If you are eligible to order from the US, then placing an order directly through us may or may not expedite the process. Our reciept of PLMs is still a few weeks out at least, then we will have to inspect them and ship all orders before new orders begin. It is impossible to say now when any order will be delivered, particularly new orders.

Just wondering if there was any update on PLM status recently?

Hi,

Are there many preorders in the queue for the largest size PLMII, silver and white shoot-through? Will there be a separate wait for accessories such as the front diffusion fabric, or are these being readied at the same time.

I wanted to get the sense for the wait if ordered when my Einstein number comes up.

Sincerely

-- Alex Karasev

Further delay on PLM's ......

Source............

http://www.lightingrumours.com/paul-c-b ... update-541

Quote:
7th July, 2010: We apologize for the continued delay in the availability of the Parabolic Light Modifiers. With the improvements made to the design of the system, there have been unexpected delays from our new fabric vendor. We regret that this has prolonged the backorder status and are continuing to work diligently to have the product ready as soon as possible. We have very strict quality control standards and are unwilling to ship any product that does not meet Paul C. Buff’s precise design.

PLM version 2 will be available in 51-inch, 64-inch and 86-inch sizes, still available in both white and silver. The version 2 will have a smaller umbrella shaft (7mm) to fit flash units by other manufacturers having smaller diameter umbrella mounts. Each PLMv.2 will also include a speedring cage assembly that allows exact centering of the umbrella on all Paul C. Buff, Inc. flash units or Elinchrom flash units.

As we have more information, we will continue to update this site as to when the products will be made available. We also hope to update this page soon with images and added description of the improved PLMv.2 design.

This is an answer from Paul in another thread:

BTW, I thought we were getting close to production one some of the PLM's, but when I spoke to customer service, they thought they were "a couple months" away. Any status updates?



We're waiting 'til we see them to set a firm schedule. Two months is way pessimistic. The first batch of 51" and 64" white PLM V2s is due any day now, and they are starting on silver and all other sizes and fabrics. Mt best guess would be under a month for all pieces. They can produce a large number in a short time so we don't expect significant backorders once they start coming in.
