No need to avoid fluorescent bulbs, they are actually quite good for this type of work. I use a set of 5K compact fluorescent lamps in white reflectors, the colour is excellent and repeatable. They are very cool to work with temperature wise and since they are always on provide greater flexibility for setting light and subject positions, there are no surprises. -- Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://picasaweb.google.com/distudio/PESO http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio//publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
