I appreciate the thought- it looks like the Nikkor's are for close up issues. While I sometimes have to shoot close-in, I more often have to shoot full body issues, and need a bit more spread. But thank you!!

Hi everyone, I am searching for smaller, more compact lighting to shoot medical before and after photos. I'm afraid I'm so accustomed to my White Lightnings that I've had forever, that I'm at a loss as to what is available that is high quality and very consistent. I need some decent power to be able to accommodate an f-stop of at least 8.0, ISO 100, and shutter speed of 125 with no lag time. It's a small space, so compact is good. It would need to handle a softbox with minimal diffusion. I'm not too keen on Speedlights- we'd have to change the batteries too often, and I don't love the results in this particular situation. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Rachel

<p>Hi folks,<br />Here's the skinny: I've been using White Lightnings mono's for ages. Recently I've unearthed a set of Novatron heads. I would love to have more lights to play with, but would need to buy a power pack for the Novatrons, then there is the problem of syncing everything. I usually use pocket wizards for my mono's. What would I need to do to sync a Novatron pack to the wizards? Is it worth keeping the Novatron heads and purchasing a power pack, or should I just get more White Lightnings? Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.<br> Thank you!<br />Rachel </p>
