If you view my profile pics (Old System - I guess I have to move my pictures soon!), all of the ones with white seamless were taken with the 5 footer as front fill running off a 150 WS Monolight.

Did you catch the list price of that lighting kit?! $1450 USD! Looks like a real steal, even if you don't use the light. Hmmm....


Cheers!
The list price is about double the real world retail price. But I guess in the Photographic industry we are used to seeing that, and its expected.

The light looks similar to a Starlite which by itself would be around $400. So if someone gets this for $100 or so, then they will get a real bargain.

Found one of their auctions for just the box:

They show a retail of $980 for that. But its going for $51.

Cheers,
