[QUOTE="Pretzel, post: 451588, member: 12257"] So Wayne, if I might pick your brain, as you have the experience and I'm just starting to dabble... LONG version: If I were to purchase a couple of these to go along with my SB-700, do you think it would be an acceptable combo in a two umbrella + hair light set up, or two umbrella + backdrop light? This might help me approach my desired speedlight studio set-up sooner rather than later. My main curiosity is tied to whether I should actually try go with a matched set or if it's ok to mix and match flashes (whether or not the power differences would be drastic enough to create uneven lighting). Granted, I guess I'd be tweaking the power compensation depending on spacing and/or circumstances anyway, so this is probably a moot question. LONG RUN, I'd like these to be good enough to last until I can afford a better strobe kit, which would be a while, but still get some decent "studio" style of shots. SHORT version: Is it ok to mix and match speedlights? [/QUOTE]
