    bought my first set of studio lights

    Took the plunge and bought my first studio setup it consists of two Courtenay 1000 Solaflash units, two stands and four reflector brollies all in £40.

    Looking forward to using them now.

    For £40? That was indeed a bargain.

              Hi Stan yes they are used he had a studio setup in his garage and stated that the lights were always stored in their original boxes. They are literally as if I have just bought them new.

                  Thats what I thought my thinking behind it was that it would cost me more than £40 for the stands and four umbrellas that came with the lights. He also gave me a load of leads to suit any camera make apparently. I will however be replacing the leads with a wireless setup as more funds become available.

                    Good deal Paul. You're a dab hand at portraiture so it should work well for you.
