Greetings.
Two people have asked me, I can't find the answer in literature, and I'm
stumped, so it's onto the EOS list I go. Has anyone tried to use modern
small halogen lights for close-up work? Price of (some) halogen lights has
come down, availability has gone up, and I'm intrigued with the possibility
of using them in softboxes for close-up and macro. I don't know the
temperature of halogen and am unsure if I would need a filter, like one
needs with tungsten lights.
For most close-up work, I normally use a pair of Canon EOS 200E Speedlites
on flash brackets, but sometimes use a single 550EX in a softbox. I am
certainly going to try halogen but need the filter question answered first.
Can anyone answer this and/or point me to some literature on the subject?
