Wanna get Studio Flash

lerico

Anybody here familiar with strobe lights? Which one are you using?

I am seriously considering getting a pair of strobe, and my budget is around $1000 tax in. Probably looking at a pair with 250w/s to 300 w/s each and a pair of medium sized softbox.

Any recommendation?

I am seriously considering AB too. Given that it's resell market is very good! One can easily sell their AB on eBay at 80% - 90% of the original price after a one or two years.

Seriously, if I got a set of strobe lights, I am definitely willing to share to fellow LYKs and learn together. I know we can rent a small studio in Vancouver for only $30 an hour if we bring our own lights. Definitely good for a LYK meet if we can find a model. Hey, if you guys pay for the studio fees, i don't mind sharing my lights... given that after I've purchased them... haha

I've picked Alien Bees, 2x B800, but I would have picked the B400 instead if I would to do it again.  ISO100-400 is so good these day, where the B800 seems to have too much power to a point where I can't hardly use larger aperture..!

Also, for those who are ordering Alien Bees.., you can get discount if you are a photograpy student.  While they do need prove.., it's possible to register a photography course at a phtography school, where they allow full refund.

I did that when I took a b&w course here in Seattle, but dropped the course after the first class, since it didn't meet my expection..!  But I still get my student discount..!
