One of the things I'll need to plan is which filters I need in which sizes,
and which I should get filter adapters for.
Buy the largest filter and use adapter rings to fit that filter to the rest
of your lenses - the rings are cheaper than the same sized filter.

I was thinking something like if you have the square or rectangular Lee,
Tiffen, etc you could put the filter in front of the strobe to attenuate
the light at the source, and that would work with ANY lens.
Or just hang some shower curtain, one or two layers thick, as a diffuser,
a little ways in front of the strobe, or move the strobe back, or turn it
around and use it as a bounce. There are a lot of ways to cut down on the
brightness of the strobe. He could have even just hung some strips of
aluminum foil in front of the soft box. But, I'm quite sure that Paul
knows all of these tricks and just computed the ratio of how much he
wanted less dof versus how much work he was willing to do to get it.

Yeah, but I haven't bought any filters for the 24-70. It's 82 mm, and
I need a polarizer first for car pics. But I can dial a few stops out
of each light. Just have to wrestle with that 5 foot softbox a bit.
With the k-1 on the verge of coming out, I did the nerd thing and made a
spreadsheet of all of my lenses. One of the columns is filter size. My
bigma is 86mm, my Sigma 20/1.7 is 82. My 16-50 and A* 200 are 77. One of
the things I'll need to plan is which filters I need in which sizes, and
which I should get filter adapters for.
At some point, I need to start looking at ND filters. I haven't looked at
the electronics, but I'm a little surprised they can't turn the gain down
on the sensors much below ISO 100.
