I want thank you for the advice so far. I am sorry about my delay in checking on them, my job involves plowing and we have had a regular winter wonderland.Since December 1st we have had few days without plowing/salting. I think the first take away for me is to scrap the thought the of the "cheap" set I was looking at.

I agree completely and I think that after some saving and studying I will look at the PCB's.

Also agree completely! [Y][Y] I am going to study that thoroughly before I take another step. I have time as there is no pressing need, I just am looking to grow and I would rather save and buy better items I will use rather than cheaper one to outgrow.


Thanks for your reply Sean. As Todd mentioned I think you are one of the best and I enjoy your work. Seeing what can be done is one of the things that started me thinking of expanding into more than just my 580EX II mounted atop my camera. After I go through your "Interested in strobism" thread, I may need to seek more advice.


Thanks Mike, I was thinking of getting an extra Canon Flash and umbrellas before saw the Adorama kit. I may well start off with that idea. The umbrellas will be useful with future expansion as will a second Canon flash. In addition, from a cost stand point it should be about the same. I am going to read Sean's thread and check out strobist.com as you suggested and I will then make a more structured plan. It may take me some time, but I will continue forth.


Thanks,


Chris
