Ben, I'll be doing a wedding this Saturday at a place where supplemental lighting is almost mandatory ... a true cave of a place with dark painted walls and rich woods ... mammoth ornate interior space, super high ceilings with no natural light at all, and ancient tungsten lighting set at very low levels. I'm going to gel the Quadras and shoot with the H4D/40 MFD ... and do a second approach using the Leica M9 shot available light with the Noctilux and 21/1.4 ASPH. Should be interesting.Thanks for the indepth reply Marc. If I think of it as a 200w/s unit to obtain the recycle time I need I think it would help for my purposes. That and shooting slower

The new speed transmitters, built better and with better sync. Just announced today I think.
Looks like that new sender will not provide all functions with the less expensive Quadra set I bought ($630. off the B&H price for the same thing) ... but it still looks like I could use it with the same functions I have now .... but with a better built unit and better design elements. I really don't care about the extras like strobing and stuff like that.
