Yes
I'm a happy man, they arrived this morning after being very well looked after by Harry at Lencarta.

I only managed to get out for about 15 mins (including setup) at lunch time so nothing earth shattering to post but will still put a couple up..

I was hoping to get to beat the sun but I wasn't limited by the lights, rather the lens I took was my 24-105 which maxes out at f22... oops, I needed f45 really. I also didn't grab my 3 stop ND so was stuck.

Never mind, I still had a quick play with my 'willing' model (wife).

Here are 2 of the shots to show a couple of quick looks I was able to get, I'm really looking forward to having more of a play over the next few days and will probably use them on a shoot with a couple on the weekend.

Both with 90cm Octo right of camera.

1 I know shooting up the nose isn't ideal but wanted to get the clouds in and didn't have the 17-40 or want to show the stand (not sure why now as it was only a test.... oh well.

2 More of a balance shot using the sun as a rim light.

You were the guy who was unlucky at Focus and missed out on the demo Li-ons? I felt very bad about that, but there was nothing I could do, we just had too many people wanting too few demo models. Maybe we should have drawn straws or something...

Anyway, I'm glad that you managed to end up with one at a discount price.

That was me, waiting there and chatting to Michael rather than going and standing next to the desk..... if only I had known how it would have worked LOL. Harry looked after me well so I can't complain.

Hoping to make good use of the lights on Sunday for a pre wedding shoot, will see how it goes weather wise but hopefully will get some propper shots up from them.
