Looking forward to build a master/slave system based on 2 flashes.
My choice was 580 ex ii + 430(good or?).

Is metz 58 af-2 any good?
Also would be metz + 430 any good? Or should i go metz+metz?

Thanks.

if you wanna use master / slave stick to one brand. I´d go with the canons if you can afford it.

umbrellas and light stands for compact flashes are cheap as hell. I guess if you go with one background setup, 2 umbrellas including light stands and flash holders, plus the 580ex II and the 430 ex II, 1000 € will be more than enough.

What you guys think about this setup?

http://www.dragonimage.com.au/p239/ELINCHROM-D-Lite-2-it-To-Go-Set/productinfo.html


Worth the price?


just realized it doesn't show, anyway it's elinchrom d lite 2 to go set.
Costs about 7xx euro.


mmh i just found the d lite 4 for the same price on amazon, could it be?
