Apart from the above, the only difference between the Beseler and the Bowens is the ability to adjust filtering for different illumination sources. You could do that with the Bowens with fixed filters, assuming you were going to use it a lot. A step-down transformer would cost about £20 - I don't expect customs charges would be significant, if there were any at all. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
