If you want 8gb cards, the Kingston Elite Pro (133x Write Speed And Upto 25mb/second Read) is a good value for money buy. I get mine from Ebuyer.com. The direct link is http://www.ebuyer.com/product/159043. I have bought thousands of pounds of stuff from Ebuyer and have never been let down.

I second that - any diy solution MUST produce a pure sine wave or you are asking for trouble.

Quality!!!!

If you know what you want, and take the time to check out the seller, there is nothing wrong with buying off Ebay. Half my lights, and most of my accessories were bought off Ebay with no problems at all.

At one time I used a similar setup with 550EX flash units. My first suggestion, if you are intending to use for portraits, is to set both flash units on tripods, and use a wireless trigger. Having one flash on the camera hotshoe is very limiting, compared to two which can be placed in a wide...

I also have a 7ft ceiling studio, and have had no problems with standing full length poses (except when I try to get the models to jump for action shots!!) Examples of my studio work can be found via the web link on my signature.

No problems at all today (on since 8.00am).

Thanks for that Andy. Peter

Hi What you have is, I believe, a transluscent deflector (http://www.theflashcentre.com/elinchrom-translucent-deflector-with-rod-i249.html) for use with Elinchrom softboxes. Hope that helps.

Now here's a man who understands economy! Excellent suggestion - thanks for that. Peter

If the standard lens is the 50mm, it will be fine for your needs (as you are on a tight budget and decent alternative lenses would be hundreds of pounds).

Another Ebay search beckons - thanks.

Sounds interesting! I am now off to Ebay to see what comes up. Thanks

Hi Pete Thanks for that, I will give them a look. Peter
