+1 that 30" umbrellas are to small. I also recommend 45" to 60" convertibles. The bigger they are the softer the shadows.I am cheap by nature thus the need for you guys to talk me OUT of the cheap items!
For the time I am going to go with......
a second SB600
2x 8' Linco light stands PRO HEAVY DUTY 8' LIGHT STAND - eBay (item 270650619456 end time Nov-16-10 00:36:35 PST)
2x Impact Convertable Umbrella Impact 30" Convertible Umbrella UBBW30 B&H Photo Video
If anyone has alternatives to these they feel are better feel free to throw it out there.
Why a second SB-600, unless you need the iTTL?
If you don't need the iTTL, I would recommend a Vivitar 285HV or 2, $90 brand new. Vivitar 285HV Flash 233965 B&H Photo Video
You'll also need a couple of umbrella brackets http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/298709-REG/Impact_3117.html
Forget that crap they sell on eBay, including that Linco light stand, it is not heavy duty. This is heavy duty http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/33047-REG/Matthews_339561_Century_C_Stand.html
Stick with what B&H offers http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/253074-REG/Impact_LS_8A_Air_Cushioned_Light_Stand.html
