Cheers Paddy for your frank reply.. I suppose you wont mind me asking dumb questions, thats why I posted in the beginners section ;)
Do you think the extra stop will make much difference?

Thornston, keep taking the soda ;) I get what you are saying while i dont agree with this type of pricing structure..

general update.
These lights will be in my Garage, so they will be set up and not moved ! unless I back my car in and forget about them, in which case I will be selling them as a COMPACT kit :)

Random thought…. not connected to my decision making..

3 lights? power? any opinions would be appreciated, not in regard to purchasing them but more in regard to what to look out for ?

Apart from my head spinning with all the talk of power ratings triggers slaves soft boxes etc, LOL
I have decided that flash is the way forward and I like the idea of the elinchrom dlite..
Now I have one question if you could help me out and its to do with the kits, the 2 and the 4..
Are the accessories the same for both kits? they look the same on the list..
http://www.barkerphotographic.ie/flash-heads-and-kits.htm
the reason I ask is that if they are the same and there is 200 in the difference betweent the dlite2 and dlite4 kits, and the heads are
239 and 299 respectively.. then the kit prices should be only 120 in the difference..
* Puts hands out to be slapped as I am clearly missing something :) please dont hit me hard…. :? I am just asking a straight question and in no way trying to be awkward ..

I would like to thank you and the other people for giving up your time so far and for helping me understand what the whole studio setup is going to take to set up..
I have now upgraded my budget to at least 700… :idea: God help me !!!!

Sharon.

Cheers steve, We have something in common, we both have tried those lights :)
But now that my eyes have returned to normal, I know in my heart its time to take the leap !
what threw me off with the links above was the two camps, as in flash and continous lighting…
I need to get my head around the two and choose one.. my gut feeling is my origional feeling of flash heads :roll:
