I have used these in the past, and I think that I have a couple still around. |

Above will save you some money compared to the B&H price. I've used said bulbs, they are very weak (45 watts) and there is no way to modify the ultrawide beam. If you try to use a reflector of the kind you find in home depot you end up covering the slave sensor thus making it useless.

This is the one that looks like a fun thing to play with, to me. Several variations built into it, and it might be fun to use in a normal lampshade for interior shots or environmental portraits, etc. Tempted to get one just to see...
Anybody use this exact model before? |
