i'd like to think so lol

even though my lights are not the pro series there is another benefit elinchrom has over AB which i had prior... and that is aesthetics. These things look so much better and not as cheap as my Alienbees.

Paid for 2nd day air so looks like wednesday everything gets here and on thursday my new business cards get in. I needed at least 3 lights b/c i am getting a lot of requests for christmas card shoots.
