Nevermind....just got home from B&H. Got two pocket wizards.........and a lightstand, and an umbrella, and two omni bounce caps, and an umbrella mount, and almost bought the 70-200, but decided to restrain myself.
P.S. I think Im over my original 5K plan

[QUOTE=NFRs2000NYC,Jul 31 2007, 09:33 PM] As for the pocket wizards, I still don't get it....As far as I understand, there are two units with antennas...one sits on the camera hot shoe, and the other has a flash plugged into it.

What'd you choose for an umbrella? How big, shoot-through,...? Inquiring minds want to know.

How do you like the pocket wizards?
Right now I have a 430EX and an off-shoe cord.. my options are:
1. Get a vivitar flash strobist kit with an wein peanut, use the 430 to optically trigger the vivitar
2. Get a 580EX II, use it's wireless capability to master the 430ex
3. Get the gadget infinity remotes
I keep jumping around between 1 and 2, but I spose 3 is a low cost low risk way to try it..
