I've been thinking about buying some studio flash, I like the look of the lencarta smart flash 4 set (two heads, soft boxes, stands and trigger). I really only want them for still life photography, maybe a pet portrait or two.
At the moment I use a couple of speed lights off camera and as much as they are fine for most things, I really find it a bother making sure the batteries are charged or having to think how much longer have I got left before the batteries run out. Also if I use a grid, then the flash is around ¼-½ power, using even more battery.
Now even though the lencarta set looks to be a good deal, for me it's quite a big investment (I don't have a large amount of spare money every month). But i like the idea of just getting them out and using them and then put them away again and not having to think about batteries.
Are there any other benefits to studio flash Vs speed lights?
I'm not looking to buy anything for 2-3 months or so.
