I wouldn't use a big softbox - I think it said there is a 19" octo - yeah no that would be too much - I would use a smaller softbox option

hmm...
just saw they just released the Yongnuo YN560-III's.
the same as the II but with a built in 2.4ghz radio and cost $86 bux.
i may pick up a pair of those to mess around
or 4 if i need more power

I had my eye on the sigma 35 1.4 but I think its better if I invest in lighting instead. I think for $800 I can get a pretty good set. What do you guys think?
what I'm looking for is mainly two source of lighting for indoor shoots and fill lighting for outdoor shoots

No biggie, when it comes to gear imo, it's all relative to people's needs/budget and using what is available. I might pick up some gigs for real estate listings and sometimes HDRs just won't cut it

Im waiting for the 3 version of those yongnuo 560s to be available to buy. They just announced them 2 weeks ago.
Basically the same as the 2, but this has a radio built in. Cost is $86.

I think you can already get them directly from the yongnuo website.

The trigger IIRC is $30. Thinking if building a 5 light setup for 500-600.

Actually the article mentions 3rd party triggers with an AF assist beam would work. So maybe?

someone is offering to buy my Sigma 85mm f1.4, I'm kinda tempted because I don't use it very much, especially after picking up the Zeiss 135mm f1.8 But at the same time, the 85mm f1.4 is such a must for portraits. For me, the 50mm f1.4, 85mm f1.4 and 135mm f1.8 is the holy trinity of portrait lenses. Decisions, Decisions
(he's also offering me about $100 less than what I think it's worth. I told him what I would like, if suppose, I was to sell it, and he said he'd think about it)

Are you on FF cameras or crop? That 85 seems like a great lens. Would you have sellers remorse?

After I get back from my California visit in March, we are going to apply for something, I forget the term. But since we are living together now, she can sponsor me
We've talked about it

oh that kind of stuff. I don't have any insurance for it so I can't comment on it. Thankfully I also have not come anywhere remotely close to feeling any need for it.
