Hi everyone,

I'm about to put together a light setup and would be keen to hear from anyone with advice on the setup I'm looking to buy.

I mainly want this as a one light out door portrait setup (think wedding couple/engagement shoots) though may add one or two of my speedlights as well.

So far I'm thinking;
PCB Einstein
Pocket Wizard Mini/Flex(2)/MC2/AC3
Vagabond Mini
Manfrotto 1004 BAC stand
Sekonic L-478DR

What I'm not sure on is which softbox I should get, I was thinking maybe the 47 Octabox from PCB? I'm not really keen on umbrellas and I do plan on adding a beauty dish (likely a kacey) in the near future (not practical right now)
I'd also like a reflector for the Einstein would the 8.5 high output reflector be the more popular choice?

One other thing is variable ND filters, can anyone recommend a good one?

I'll be using a 5D II with 70-200 f2.8 IS II

Thanks :)
