Hi,

Would I be able to shoot @ f11 Iso 100 using 2 AB400s and 2 64" PLM soft silver?
Oh, distance of lights from the subject/s would be at approx 8ft

Thanks

Yes . . . easily, even with one AB400 and PLM SS.

Even with diffusion fabric ?

With diffusion fabric, you will probably need both, but you should get it.

even if you don't (lights further back or whatever), ISO 200 and 400 are virtually non-issues anymore.

Thank you very much for your response. I mostly shoot in my small studio ( 12'x19') and my 4 ab 400 serve me well, however I am getting alot of request to shoot in photobooth. I was initially thinking of swapping my 400s for 800s but im afraid to have unusable and uncontrollable power which I would get from 800s, That is why In this special case ( shooting in photobooth) I opt to get more efficient modifiers versus upgrading my lights. I hope I am making the right decision

I think the Soft Silver PLM will be a great choice for many uses, especially if the diffusion fabrics are on hand. Again, ISO 200 or 400 is totally usable in most cameras anyway.

I don't think you will need the upgrade, but, you do have a 60 day return policy if you would like to trade, or a two year upgrade window to have the 400's modified and upgraded to 800 or 1600.
