Karin,

Hi. I just dropped family off at the airport after a great holiday visit. Now, back to work!

My son gave me the Photek Background in a Bag and have since realized the support does not come with the fabric! So, ready now to buy the framework to hold up the fabric (another $150) and my question is , "did you buy the support from Photek as well?" Is that the strongest one?

Nowadays companies sell everything so that you must buy the accessories, prices that must be factored in. For instance, my Sony Cybershot-DSC-P50 comes with a 4Mb memory stick. It only holds one pic so I had to buy a 128Mb stick.

On the strobe, Paul C. Buff no longer carries the 600 series, and now have the 800. How high does that make the light? You start with a 150 watt modeling light, correct? So, when the flash goes off, how bright is the light on the model? It doesn't wash out the color, does it? Can you adjust the amount of light coming out of the strobe?

You and I have spoken before about the umbrella versus a relector board. I returned my 40" umbrella as I found the coroplast white board clamped onto two additional light stands to reflect light better IMHO.
