You probably don't want to hear this, but you should really invest in a flash meter for using lights that aren't regulated by the camera's system. I can't even imagine guessing at exposures with studio strobes.

what brand or style of flash meter do you recommend without spending a lot of mony but still be a good unit.

thank you

Luis, I'm really not up on the latest and greatest in meters. I've had a Minolta Flashmeter IV for over 15 years, and it still works wonderfully. I think it's been replaced with a later model or two, but it's not cheap.

You might start a thread or look through the archives for some ideas. I have heard good things about the Sekonic L308 BII http://ww3.onecall.com/PID_18571.htm as a good basic unit, but I don't know what else is out there.
