Hi there - first post here, been taking pictures for a while
Anyhow, I love tinkering with portrait lighting and have built up quite a bit of portable strobist stuff over the years, pretty much all Bowens kit with the bigger Pentax/Metz flashes and the odd piece of (workmanlike) Calumet hardware when Bowens were a bit pricey
Bowens stuff seems really nicely put together (esp their umbrellas) so I have pretty much ignored all the other brands. But with the brand now dissappearing I am looking at other kit - but not being a pro I dont get much chance to compare kit side by side or chat with peers
Westcott, Interfit, Lastolite all seem to be in this space and all seem to have their fans and detractors
Currently in the market for a reflective umbrella or two, but have yet to find a back to back comparison of these. Going forwards I suspect light modifers will be my primary focus as there isnt anythiong else I really need
