Fair comments throughout, although in terms of the power side that was largely to do with the fact I bought quite a large softbox (105cm) and never fully believed that 200w got the most out of it, although I am less convinced that is the case now after using everything for a longer period. I...

About 3 years ago I bought a Godox AD200 Pro ahead of my son being born for doing things like a newborn shoot, cake smash etc as he grows up, but on the basis that I didn't want to shell out loads on a full system and rather wanted to build as I needed it. Once the AD200 Pro ii came out I added...

I can see the benefits to having a modular system, but going off their kickstarter prices I am struggling to see where the value lies financially. The additional legsets alone are almost the same price as just buying a decent second tripod and ballheads are easily transferrable and generally...

I agree with the others suggesting the 24-200. I have had mine for a couple of years now and it has been a great addition to my kit. Very versatile, lightweight and image quality is very good considering it isn't an S lens. Nigel Danson uses the 24-200 quite a lot too, which shows that even pros...

Nikon Z6ii with Tamron 17-35mm f2.8-4 Big Dipper over barn by Colin Freeman, on Flickr

Same here, was cheaper than the prograde one when I bought it and has been excellent in usage

Bargains aren't normally aplenty, but there is usually some to be had. If you want to try out some of the newly released gear on the market it's great as all the major players are normally there, but don't go if you are just hoping to get stuff heavily reduced as you will be disappointed. That...

D750 for me, got me ito the world of FF, taught me not to be afraid of higher ISOs and got me through my first weddings and events. Still have it now as a backup to my Z6ii, but definitely love it more than the newer camera.

Nikon D60

Started with a bridge camera that had manual settings as well as auto, a lot of trial and error and chimping got me to a point where I knew I needed something more than the bridge camera so I progressed onto my first DSLR. With that I started learning a bit more sensibly through magazines...

thanks guys, I have some experience with this stuff but not much, so all input is very much appreciated

Just a bit of an update on this, I think a couple of the lencarta softboxes may have been discontinued, the redline profold 95cm has definitely been replaced with the EZ pro folding 80cm and when I asked about a larger version I was given a link to the godox p90L model.

Only started looking a week or so before Christmas. With some stuff on lencarta it says out of stock, expected back in on xx date, their soft boxes have a notify me when back in stock instead hence the confusion. That’s a good point on the shipping side of things though

As always @Garry Edwards your help is greatly appreciated. I’ll hold off for now then in the hope that the bits I want come back in stock. Got our first baby coming in April so looking to put a bit of a home lighting kit together, so I have some time yet to wait on stock to land

Hoping @Garry Edwards may pop up on this one as the man in the know with Lencarta generally... Have they started to effectively phase out the lencarta branded softboxes? There seems to be very few on the website now with lots of them out of stock, but there also appears to be a lot of...
