It will save you lots in the long run and if you have never worked with lights it will allow you to make adjustments right away and have a very clean finish for your clients. They will love it and soon you will make up for what you invested :); ▶ Reply to This

I'll go for both...but if you think your camera still can do the job...then invest more on studio lighting...lighting can be crucial in some shots... :)

Just my thought,

I bought it just one week ago and I really enjoy with it but now it just a interesting thing, not for money. I thing it's going to take about 3-5 month until I can do it well. After that I'll want to try to find some clients and it will be free for them - to get photos. for me it will be as a promotion. so if you have a camera and you can use it with light and you want to learn about light - buy a light:-); ▶ Reply to This
