Hey Guys,

Just wanted some advice before I bite the bullet and pick up 4 Einsteins. I am wanting a full range of modifiers, grids, and reflectors.

What would you guys get if you had $500 to spend on Light modifiers?

What would you get if you had $1000 to spend on modifiers?

I have been saving up for years to get all this stuff and want the ultimate package. I am curious to see if I should just go with a few shoot through umbrellas or just go with the PLM systems with a few softboxes and Octaboxes.

Any advice would be a huge help before I make the purchase.

Would a case be best if i can get modifiers in there with the Einsteins as well or should I separate them.

By the way I am curious to see if all the PCB speedrings will be ok holding up big modifiers as well or if I should by third party ones.

Thanks Again
Greg

A soft silver PLM with a diffusion fabric is a good choice for just about anyone. 64" or 86", depending on what you can fit in your space and what you will be doing. Beyond that, it really depends on the look you want to end up with and where you will be.
