Thanks guys, i went for the protector, but the HD rater than the pro 1 as was only £7 more and apparently easier to clean ! Chris, sorry again for invading, you might want to keep an eye on this as other than the B+W ones, this looks to be pretty decent and reasonably priced so far...

i did look at those, but, what put me off was how cheap it was ! can it really be that cheap and not effect the image quality at all ?

I've just ordered a new 17-55 canon 2.8, alot of the reviews say how prone it is to dust, but that having a filter fitted helps to prevent this, so im looking for the one that will least affect IQ, btu without spending more than i need to, dont get me wrong im not looking for a cheap one, but im...

Could i join in on this thread also, whats the most reasonable priced UV filter (just for protection really) without compromising IQ also in the 77mm Tell me to sod off if this is out of order ha !

Thanks for your input, never to late to the party ! I think I'm certainly going for the smart flash kit, it's just which extra modifiers to pick/change for a fairly small studio for mostly work with kids and small family photos

I'll grab the two head smart flash kit and upgrade thesoftbox to the pro fold then, what other modifiers would you recommend ? Or stick with that grow ? Does anyone know how much postage is on the kit ?

Hi simon, thanks, which lencata kit though as I'm looking at two, the elite pros 300w twin set or the three head smart flash 2, however i could potentially get the two head smart flash 2 set and more modifiers, I could possibly stretch to the elite pro set and swapping the softbox for the pro...

Ah, I thought the elite pro came with a different (possibly the pro fold one) softbox, but it would appear it's the same as in the smart flash kit

Thanks Phil, if sticking with the two heads, would you not recommend for the price difference for me to get the elite pro set instead ? (Comes with the better softbox already ?) or the elinchrom set ? Or is there a risk of them being far too powerful in a smaller space ?

Again (like my lens thread) this is probably a repetitive thread you all see a lot, ive narrowed my wishlist down to three lighting sets, im torn between, the Lencarta smartflash 2 3 head set (2 softbox one umbrella, but id possibly change one of the modifiers to be a hair/background light) the...

6d next but probably be at least 18 months away, would rather buy the right one now and sell to buy the right one when I upgrade as the lens seems to hold fair value of looked after :)

a few years back, i was really into shooting motorsport and wildlife, and purchased it not being sure it would not work with the sigma lens i have, kept it as planned on getting a 70-200 at some point but never got round to it ! forgot to mention i have a 50 1.8 i'll be keeping until i invest...

Hi Bob, not with the 24-70 f4 ?

Noooo don't throw other len's in the mix, it's tore my brain to pieces narrowing down to those two ! Ha, thank you I'll have a look at it though a 2.8 with is does sound amazing

Also any confirmations that the 17-55 won't work with my teleconverter ?
