Certainly looking to shop used... was wondering how you guys would recommend spending ~ $1000 on lighting. I'm looking to get started into portraiture in perhaps wedding photography. Portability is a plus.
All I have right now is an SB 800
So far I have these ideas (I'm certainly open to used--pricing below is indicative of used prices) I can also get student pricing, but usually the savings are only $100-200.
2 Profoto Compact 300R + Pocket Wizard + Case (advantage is I would only need one pocketwizard unit)
1 Uni 400 JR + Pocketwizard + Case + SB900 (need to purchase 2 pocket wizard units)
1 Elinchrom BXri 500 + skyport + SB800
Shop around for a Dynalite pack and head system...
There's also a Lumedyne in the classifieds on this forum that's been for sale a while...
Note: I've thought about alienbees but am concerned about all the color consistency issues I read about online. I am looking to build a system and see the other options to be a little more permanent.
I'm open to any other suggestions you great guys at DPI may have.
Thanks in advance,
Eric
