OK need some feedback I'll be making a substantial purchase of Alien bees when I move and start my own studio. I'm not sure if I should get the 400 or 800. Guide numbers and watts just confuse the heck out of me always have. lol
The studio I'm in now we use white lighting and Photogenic and let me tell you I hardly EVER go about image 1/3 the power output on these big boys. I'm a 5.6 and f8 shooter. I'm thinking the 400 will do just fine. But I don't want to under power myself either. lol Now the big difference is starting out I'll be doing allot of location shooting too and MIGHT, need the extra juice. I want to be able to purchase these all the same watts so I can balance the light outputs to match the model lights and I'll be buying 4-6 lights. Feedback would be appreciated...
