Hey everyone,
I recently picked up a couple Paul C Buff Einstien 640ws strobes and am in need of some guidance as to which Modifiers I should should purchase first that will be the most versatile for me until I understand a little better what will work best for certain applications going forward. I have a buget of about $500 for now. I already have several stands so Im really just looking for advice on modifiers such as the ones mentioned below.
On a side note I know fotodiox makes cheaper alternatives for the Paul C Buff system but not sure about the quality or practicality on those.
Let me preface the rest of this by stating that my intent is to dabble a little in portraits and headshots but ultimately I think still life and highspeed is going to be my major focus.
I already have three speedlights with two square softboxes an 18"x18" and a 24"x24" however these are not compatible with the Paull C Buff speedrings to my understanding But I do still have them as an option using speedlights and some pocket wizard triggers. I also have a large 5 in reflector.
So all that said. Considering what I already have and a little bit with what I want to do. Id like some direction for other types of modifiers to get started maybe three or so.
Beauty Dish 22" ( they sell diffuser socks for this s well)
Umbrellas (what size and type?)
Octoboxes (what sizes are most versitle Im not afraid to go big if thats more useful)
or more Square sofboxes (again what dimentions on size)
Thanks!!
