ok guys,

now im looking at studio lighting as my girlfriend said she would buy it for me if it wasnt too expensive,

has anyone go the interfit - tungsten sxt3200 kit

as thats the kit i been looking at any one got any views on this?
 
Let me make it clear that I'm talking about tungsten lighting, not lighting from any particular supplier.

Don't. It is far from ideal, especially if you are photographing people. See this article
 
Interfit INT119 EXD200 Home Studio Kit
£293.60
Bundles AvailableThe EXD200 is lightweight and stylish yet very robust, and it is designed specifically for 21st century photographers on the move. The 5 volts Sync voltage makes them highly suitable for use with all current digital and film cameras. Touch button controls allow the desired power levels and functions to be quickly set. More

seen these any one got any veiws on this setup
 
Give me a day (don't have the details yet) and I'll tell you about something I think will interest you
 
Yes, look at the New Lencarta SmartFlash 200, much better both in terms of quality and price IMO than anything else on the market, now that the prices have been temporarily slashed.
 
ere garry do the smart flashes take S type fittings? (like I thought the rest of lencarta kit did)

Yes, exactly the same Bowens 'S' fit as all other current Lencarta lights.
The only difference between the SmartFlash and the Elite Pro is that they are 200's not 3 or 600's and they have less buttons on the back.
And of course, now that they're on at sale price, they are not much more than half the price of the ElitePro 300 - complete kits for £250 instead of £445
 
how long will these be at that price?? :) i have that set already and paid full price couple months back :) 4 lights im sure are better then 2 for £250 i can't refuse :P.

would there be any le-way to change 1 of the softboxes for some background reflectors & or octaboxes??

Interesting article but may I suggest an update as it is 3 1/2yrs old and with the new low energy lamps that are now on the market as I think this will give some people a new why to use lighting

The price will hold only until a certain number have been sold, and I don't know when that will be - but at the present price it's a bit of a no brainer when people compare them to other brands and they are already selling fast...

Sorry, the background reflectors are sold out and unfortunately will be out of stock for a while. You can upgrade to a different softbox, no problem, just pay the price difference. This will need to be done as a phone order.

Yes, fluorescent lights have moved on since that article was written. Many of them have a lot more power, but the power is still pretty inadequate for shooting people, they still have limited or no power adjustment, they still have limited (or usually no) means of fitting light modifiers and they still have a discontinuous colour spectrum.

That statement isn't true of the pro lights used in TV studios but IS true of the more affordable ones sold for home studio use.
