I'm looking to do some friends' (as well as possibly some semi-pro) jobs/portraits in the near future. I would like input from anyone who has a "portable" lighting system. What type of equipment do you have, how much will it cost me, etc. I'm leaning towards a slave system. I'm not sure if that's the right way to go. I'm just starting my research into this equipment. My current equipment is Pentax Super Program manual focus:
100 mm 2.8 lens 135 mm 2.8 AF200T Vivitar 283 Can I get good results by simply using the Vivitar 283, bounced into an umbrella? I've been thinking about a newer, bigger, better Pentax flash (280, 400, 550, etc.). Would this be a good combo to bounce from the camera? And still use the 283 & the AF200T? What about a cheap & portable back drop-any recommendations there? What about a flash meter-any suggestions/recommendations for brand, model, price, etc.? Any ideas & suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Yahoo! Movies - coverage of the 74th Academy Awards� http://movies.yahoo.com/ - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
