...The Best Medium-Format Equipment outfitting a new studio today? <or> "If you had to do it all over again, what would you choose?" We're about join the medium-format digital ranks... We have the EOS, a BetterLight, but need the middle ground, too. 1. Would you now choose Hasselblad, Mamiya Leaf (or another system) for medium-format digital? 2. For the the best compatible lights with said system above, would you choose strobes such as Broncolor, or continuous lights such as NorthLights (or others?) I understand that using continuous lighting systems, or strobes, are a matter of a photographer's experience & personal taste... But, given that Hasselblad and Broncolor have recently joined to form Hassel-Bron (at least for their distribution) I've heard the Broncolor strobes are more consistent with color between multi-shots. Is this true, or are there different viewpoints? Are the continuous lights just as reliable between passes i.e does color temp fluctuate, or have Hasselblad and Broncolor really worked it out? Side question: Is it still too early in the photo art-repro world to consider LEDs being a viable and affordable continuous lighting system? I've heard they're currently popular in the movie industry, but what's the word in studio art-reproduction, or in-gallery views? Any and all input appreciated--- Many thanks!
