SWEET! I'm about to order a 60" and one of the smaller ones, but I'm not sure how well I'm going to be able to light up the large one with just my AB400, so I'm having second thoughts.

What do you think?

Great picture by the way, would love to see more :-)

Nice job :) the only nitpick would be that the legs and the "derriere" aren't PP and the rest it is, but you did fine here great job :)

turbodude, another great image! Lighting and poses are superb. I wish you shot ETTL so you can help settle the current debate with the new PW and RP. I've been following your club pics and recent model shoots and you have a great handle on minimal location lighting with 580EX's and AB's. ;)

Depending on what you are doing an ab400 should be fine, more powerful than the Sunpak 120j and Metz 60 Id used with one and those both worked fine.
