I am looking to get some bees soon, but I can never pass up a deal...
Is this any good? Just currious what the experts think? I would be using it for product photg mainly.

IIRC i've seen it said that photogenic are a good brand, just be aware it's about as powerful as an AB400. For product photography if you need more light you can just leave your shutter open for 10 seconds an flash them a bunch of times.

The B800s are 320W/s, a fair bit more powerful. I have two of them, for the last wedding I did i'd have liked a bit more power - but most of the time they've got plenty :)
