ooh, I so want some elinchrom lights. i like that you're able to use the skyports to change them yourself. they did a little demonstration at my school with a bunch of their lighting. I love their ringflash with the ranger pack.

I wish I could Username, but I need a three light rig for the styles of work/flexibilty and insurance in case one of the lights fails. Also long term it's going to be the Ranger system which will suit my style of work far more. I Just need gear to generate the cash first, plus I have the modifiers to use with the Ranger system and the familiarity to get the possible results.

I've spent the last 8-12months planning this transition from using pure flash guns. So hopefully this will go smoothly.

I don't like posting what gear should I get, as it's down to personal preferences. This is why I posted up a gear list to get feedback in case I missed anything obvious and also contacted the store to ask questions, lots and lots of questions.

As promised here's the final gear list:

Style 400BX 2 Head Kit + Style 300RX - The RX head will be for the lofts, octabank and other awkward places.

Midi-Octa 135cm - Went for this in the end as it will be more suited to the environments I'll be working (ie cramped in all likely hood).

Rotalux Deep Throat - I love the focused light this gives.

Elinchrom 70cm maxisoft white with deflectors - still in two minds about white or silver, will find out next week.

21cm Reflector kit complete - useful for filters and barn doors in the future.

Elinchrom Skyport RX Set + Universal receiver - This covers several bases: Remote trigger for both the BX and RX with added control over the RX and also remote trigger for my flash guns when I do want to use them.

This should cover much of my needs, with me getting the Octabank later in the year if I do need it and still be useful for the Ranger kit I'll be purchasing next year.

Once again thanks for all the input.
