Lately, tho, it's been a feast. Leastwise, for the past 3 months or so. I don't live a lavish lifestyle and that's an understatement. But when I've got the dough, I'm always putting it back into gear. When things get tough, I can always figure out what I don't use too much and, if I need to, sell it and recover my investment in it. Generally, good photography gear retains its value nicely. (Except for camera bodies.) So, you're right. CASH IS KING! And right now, it reigns supreme!jimmydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04250574229270573468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30664106.post-48857540275544164872009-07-13T18:43:49.939-07:002009-07-13T18:43:49.939-07:00Jimmy, there have been some deals out there and in...Jimmy, there have been some deals out there and in these economic times CASH IS KING ! I read your tweet a few days ago about picking up grip gear. I have been doing the same thing, moving old stuff I do not use and picking up new grip gear and even some WL strobes. Now is the time to find those deals, its just nice to be on the shopping side of the deal and not the one needing the cash to survive these times.Pete Surrettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12394691025692314045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30664106.post-51625958323913522992009-07-13T17:48:34.938-07:002009-07-13T17:48:34.938-07:00Congrats on the purchase - and nice shot.Congrats on the purchase - and nice shot.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11760712310146363436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30664106.post-47721837817235402592009-07-13T14:30:38.070-07:002009-07-13T14:30:38.070-07:00That's one hell of a deal, Jimmy!

I'm not a huge fan of ring lights but now that I have the Z2500WS, I'm more than half-way there, to Ring Light Land, if I add Buff's ZRM1 to my kit. (For $299)<br /><br />Since we're scheduled to begin actual production on the PGS DVD in two weeks, I'm thinking adding content using a ring light would be appropriate and informative. Add to this gear my ExplorerXT, which should power the Z2500WS w/out a problem, and I'm fully mobile, i.e., A/C free, with a ring light as well as my entire Zeus setup!<br /><br />BTW, you're right: The folding soft box is a very clever design.jimmydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04250574229270573468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30664106.post-80890799282352056912009-07-13T06:06:20.809-07:002009-07-13T06:06:20.809-07:00Sweet deal!

I have a bunch of Norman LH500 heads and some LH500+ heads. It's relatively easy to make adapters for the Norman heads to the Dynalite plugs, so I've made about five of them from used Dynalite D to M adapter cables. I'd like to have one more Zeus pack. I've thought about buying a used Dynalight pack, but they sell for almost the price of a new Zeus pack, so why bother? The only real down side to using the Norman heads is that the Paul C. Buff modifiers won't work with them. I had a couple of old Balcar heads that I couldn't use, so I modified them to work with the Norman or Zeus packs. I just don't want to spend $300 for a head when I've got something laying around that I can use. The nice thing about having the Zeus packs is that they will work together and can use the wired remote that works with the Bees or the White Lightnings.Bill Gileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14489162998247361041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30664106.post-44439690140845834002009-07-12T22:24:12.178-07:002009-07-12T22:24:12.178-07:00Whoa...2500W/S nice find!

And it's cool that they're compatible with Dyna-lights as well.<br /><br />We have a similar show here in Vancouver but it's only once every April but that's where I found my Fuji 617 for cheap and was able to get rid of my Nikon F5 and some darkroom equipment, oh so many years ago.<br /><br />eEd Araquelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00668921825918396045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30664106.post-91041623689910569162009-07-12T21:40:43.853-07:002009-07-12T21:40:43.853-07:00Just remember, Jimmy.
