Hello Christine, Sorry, I can't help. I shoot with Alien Bees monolights. They seem to be about the best bang for the buck. Pretty much the features of the big boys, but not quite the duty cycle. So if you are a part timer, they work very well. If you are going to use them day in/day out for years, they probably wouldn't hold up. But they are priced accordingly.
My experience with hot lights is that they are very uncomfortable to work with and the bulbs don't last long and they shift color temperature over the life of the bulb. For B&W the color shift is no big deal, but for color work, it can be bothersome. -- Best regards, Bruce Saturday, June 5, 2010, 6:45:56 AM, you wrote: CA> Here's a question for folks shooting in studio conditions: CA> Any particular *brand recommendations* for *continuous tungsten studio CA> lights* to be used for portraiture?
