A few months ago everything i bid for on ebay i lost, i was sniped at the last minute all the time. It go to the point unless i could Buy It Now, i could not buy it at all.
Well, that changed recently. I assisted at a wedding a few weeks back and go to use some Lumedyne flash equipment. Nice stuff, expecially the portability part. not sure it as the total power for studio use, but I don't plan on using it primarly for that anyway.
So i looked at the stuff at b&h - a one light set up (flash head, power pack (control), battery and charger (and cables of course) runs $850-1300. Ugh me thinks.
So this set up comes up on ebay, an earlier model i think (so what - a flash is a flash) //cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7533171187
It looks like these components at b&h would add up to over $1100 plus cables. I place a low ball bid, forget about it, come home from work and I won the bloody thing!
I won a similar item last week, a 100 ws strobe on a vivitar 283 body, with 2 batteries and charger for $60. I need a wein optical trigger for it, and i guess maybe for hte other one too...radio slaves are not cheap. i guess i might want a flash meter too....
