Interfit EX150 what else needed?

[Levidog]

I am collecting an Interfit EX150 system from Jessops tomorrow, is there anything I need to collect whilst I am there?

I am after some kind of backdrop any ideas

Thanks

What about the Interfit flash trigger.

My advice is to buy nothing extra until you've learned to use what you've got. Too much can cause more problems than too little.
In time, you'll start to develop your own style and will then know what's needed to create/improve that style.

As for backdrops, one of the very best (IMO) portrait/fashion photographers uses a plain wall. It works for him and I normally do the same, although I do have backdrops too.

Thanks Garry that's very good advice, but I was wondering the very thing that Von Ryan mentions. What do you reckon.

It's just an infra red trigger, old technology and IMO seriously overpriced. For about the same money you could get a radio trigger, which is a far more reliable option. Or you could just use your popup flash with a bit of red plastic over it, does the same job

Cheers Garry, I didn't get to Jessops today as I was at the Cotswold Wildlife Park to see the baby meercats but I have it saved and will pop in tomorrow and spend the next of the playing with it.

I am tempted to collect an external flash whilst I'm there 600 or 900 I guess.
