larry n. Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Can someone recommend a high-quality studio light set for an non-professional? The main reason is to be able to shoot large format indoors without the frustration of a tiny flash desgined for 35mm. I would like to be able to informal portraits, still life shots, and other creative applications. I will not be doing any formal "Sears" type portraits. As I am not a pro, I am not looking for, and cannot justify, high-end equipment. I just want a decent, dependable monlight or two, or a powerpack and one or two strobes, as well as light stand(s) and umbrella(s). What brands or configurations should I look at? Is it better to buy a "set" or a la carte? The maximum I can spend for the whole thing is $1200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john_murphy1 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 If you're shooting LF you'll need more power (to achieve an adequate aperture) than with normal portrait setups. For example, at the usual portrait distances, 600W/s through a softbox will give you around f/16. For actual measurements, see <a href="http://www.elinchrom.com/Downloads/Literature/Face%20to%20Face/FacingRightE.pdf">the Elinchrom catalog</a>, near the end under "Rotalux' or 'Indirect Softlites'.
