[QUOTE="rocketman122, post: 314264, member: 14443"] I think the best way for one to get technically good and understand light, is only with studio lighting. with natural light, you use what you have and thats it. with studio lighting, you are active in controlling the final look to the image. you have the control of the light and what you want to do creatively. sure you can accentuate, modify and supplement natural light, but you deal with what you have. studio lighting is much more difficult. understanding ratios and whats aesthetic for portraiture. I too shoot no more than f/4. I like the selective focus and not everyone needs to have every pore in the skin in sharp focus. good to hear ou have a friend to help you. prices in the US are the most reasonable for photography gear. what about the voltage problem? do you need 110 to 220v adapters? take a look into mack vip diamond warranty because sending it back for repair will not be fun. all the discount you tried to save will be lost. best to get the mack and get it repaired there in DK.
