I have a nice modern set of studio strobes but this weekend I was in an old timey basement in Tonopah inhabited by a Studio Photog of 1940 - 1952 or so, and there was one of those giant flourescent lighting multi-bank thingies like shown in Abel's Professional Portrait Lightings of 1948 (same era exactly).
It was 2 banks of 8 24" tubes on wings that could be swung to different angles, on a single sturdy stand.
Should I have bought that? Will it do any magic that modern lights can't do better and easier?
