I'm trying to put together a small lighting setup for some still life work I'm d oing (probably 2 power packs and 3 heads to start) and I'm curious whether anyon e can give feedback - positive or negative - on Calumet's line of lighting produ cts. I'm also interested in feedback on Photogenics monolights. Both companies have some interesting offerings, but I don't know anyone who has used either bra nd. Does anyone know who's manufacturing Calumet's line?
I haven't really decided whether to go the monolight or power pack/head route ye t, though I'm probably leaning towards the power pack. If I had to make a decisi on today, I'd probably choose Dyna-Lite, simply based on previous experience wit h their products. I'm not familiar with their current line though, so any feedba ck there would also be helpful. Ultimately, I'll probably use this equipment for medium format portraiture as well as my 4x5 still life work.
I've used Profoto and Speedotron in the past, though Profoto is a bit beyond my current budget and I never enjoyed the frequent zaps that Speedotron is famous f or. If someone thinks I'm making a big mistake writing off Profoto, or if you th ink I'm missing another worthy company, please feel free to give me that feedbac k and your reasoning. (As you can tell, I'm still pretty open to suggestions!)
Thanks in advance for your help.
