[QUOTE="Crazie, post: 349490, member: 30752"] Fantastic tip this! Save me a lot of time in researching/testing the optimal environment. I fumbled a lot trying to set up a home studio as a hobby with very limited budget. I've got an ancient 80-200mm f/2.8 ED that I can put to good use now ...YES !! Before I bought the D610;the old D100 struggled quite a bit as there is no PC sync port; I had to work with an ancient Metz 44AF that will only do D-TTL; manual-Lo or manual 1/1. Yes.. A total of 2 manual power settings!! And Pocket Wizards ain't a dime a dozen neither.. These old gears satisfied my point and shoot endeavors at the time. All museum pieces now. Looks like this weekend I'd be building one of these then :D The YN flashes can't be as bright as they claimed to be.... a GN of 58's?? No way!! Looks like I might need to get at least 2 more YN565ex 's 2 565ex to sit in a softbox with your flat bar, one in an shoot thru umbrella as fill The Sunpak AF5000 can play optical slave as background light!... (yes..I got one of them too when I was shooting film! man..I'm showing my age now. :() The Metz 44AF can go down the toilet for all I care.:mad: I was going to do this home studio thing a couple of years back; hoping to get a D700 and some studio lights.. I nearly fell off my chair when I saw how much the light was... thousand$ !! I can barely afford the D700 but definitely not them Monoblocs .. Even speedlights are $600 a piece.. So everything got shelved. Of course I don't expect these YN flashes to go the same mileage as the SB-700/800/900's But they're getting me closer to furnish this home studio .. Geewiz... you've got all the nice stuffs:drunk: My next "want to have" item is a Tamron 24-70mm F/2.8 That will take a lot of "loving" efforts to get it pass treasury.. Remind me again; why did I tie the knot ?? Wayne; I think we all love to see some of your work if that's OK? Alex [/QUOTE]
