Hi Feroze.
I too use the EZ-Cube with 3 cheap compact florescents in white reflectors.
These bulbs were $15.00 US for the 3 and last a very long time.
I set manual WB once from the white material of the cube and haven't had
to reset it in well over 2 years. I shoot strictly jpegs for eekBay stuff.
I bought a larger one, I wonder if these lights have sufficient power?
I've been shooting the jewellery at 60/F16 or higher if I can.
At this moment I only have the K10D to shoot with, the MZ's are now
shelf queens :). Every lab around here seems to have hired 16 year old's
who by luck landed
Hi Stan,
I don't really have a problem setting the lights up, currently I shoot
my products on a plexiglas table, and can set up so that I get a pure
white background straight from the camera, knockouts are 2 or 3 clicks
with the mask tool and then I dump the pics into the advert. This works
For me anyhow the fgz does not seem to work very well with the K10D and
I've been attaching the flash to sync adaptor to the hot shoe and have
been getting much better results than using P-TTL. Either I don't know
enough about flash or the K10D but full manual everything seems to

Hi Don,
Shiny gold and silver are even harder :) My main problems at the moment
are eliminating the reflections of the light stands, the camera, me on
very shiny gold bands, hence the light tent. Please explain how you set
the WB from the fabric. WB is my bug bear at the moment. Its driving me
Shoot RAW with auto white balance and set the color temperature
during conversion. That's the way I work in the studio and just
about everywhere else.

you will need...
Actually to answer your question the things work pretty well with flash.
You do know you need to get it off the camera, right? Just set it up to
