What is a good brand for photo studio lighting kit?
I want to build a photo studio at home. The problem is, I know a good brand for the light kit. Plus, my friend told me to be a little more cautious about buying lighting equipment because there are many bad lighting kits out there. So, anyone know a good brand for her? (PS: My camera is Nikon D40, if that helps) I can not afford too expensive. $ 1000 is enough, I suppose. Thank you.
If you are in the United States, the Alien Bees Paul C. Buff is pretty good. Bowens is a common industry do. In the UK you Elinchrom, Interfit Calumet & that based on 2 light kits for a reasonable amount ("kit" Interfit example and is about £ 230 from Jessops). They come in different powers - the cheapest Interfit kit is 150 W / s - Alien Bees will 400 W / s and above. Calumet Genesis system starts at 400 W / s too. Top of the range is Profoto. These are all very well for most studio work (they are all mains powered). Some, like bees and Alien Genesis kits can also be used outdoors using laptop batteries, but they are expensive (sometimes more than the lights themselves). The assembly for modifiers you need (softboxes, barn doors, barn doors, etc.) may vary as well - thing that is consistent with support of the standard S Bowens is good (not exotic bees this mount, but others do. You can buy an adapter that converts Balcar mount AB mount the S Bowens. You have a great camera there BTW - with an electronic shutter it will sync at speeds much higher than most other digital SLR cameras that are limited to a sync speed 1 / 200 or 1 / 250. Also consider the lighting for the road Speedlight camera. Although the power flashes are much lower than one piece (the studio lights above) to about 60W / s, they have the advantage of being cheap and portable. Shooting outdoors is much easier with them. A good, manually adjustable flash, popular with Strobist Yongnuo is the 460-II to about 40 pounds. You can use RF-602 radio trigger to fire these (and studio flash units as well) from your D40. Have a look at the blog Strobist - charges there on the photo light off, mainly focused on portable flash units, but its all good news; http://strobist.blogspot.com/2006/02/welcome-to-strobist.html
