I HAVE 2 BRAND NEW IN THE BOXES WITH AN EXTENDED 3 YEAR WARRANTY (WHEN YOU REGISTER THE PRODUCT) THESE ARE SELLING NOW FOR $135 EACH. YOU SAVE $70.00 + NO SALES TAX. PRIORITY SHIPPING IS FREE. I ACCEPT PAYMENT BY PERSONAL CHECK OR THRU PAYPAL.

I am selling a very clean and used very little Flashpoint Carbon tripod with two foam pads for winter use. Also will sell the Giottos ball head and a (MH621) Quick release plate.

There are only two in New York that i use. B&H and Adorama.Both are equal in service and shipping. JMHO

So, looking for recommendations. Something with the same kind of Spec's and features. TTL, Hot-shoe & remote. Auto zoom, and a few others compared to or better than the Bower.

Did a quick check on E-bay, was kinda liking a Yongnoe (no specific model) flash and the price was really under $100 which is my max budget.[/quote]

When I was shooting weddings (900+) all on film and the most I shot was 200 with a Hassy. Today a wedding photographer shoots about 7000 per wedding.Why so many? because they can. No understanding of how or why they took a photo, posing is debatable,ect. The cameras of today make it easy to take proper exposed photos without any knowledge of how or what settings etc. Just put the dial on green/auto and just shoot away. Just hang out a shingle and you are a wedding photographer. That said, there are some very excellent photographers out there, but they are the ones with the knowledge and understanding of basic photography and have perfected their craft. But most are hackers and not worth the money they charge.

Sorry for the rant, and to that end , I Apologize

I would choose the one that I felt most comfortable with. Brand should mean absolutely nothing.

It all depends on what type of portrait you are doing. Studio or outdoors. Depth of field in a studio is not of concern, but outdoors it all depends on what effect you are looking for and you would set your aperture accordingly. In my studio I always et my exposure for f8 or f11 and focus was on the eye. Outdoors you have many different types of lighting to consider along with different backgrounds . Outdoors will you be shooting full length,3/4 or head and shoulders, one person or more. If you are seeking a single answer, there are none. MY suggestion is to experiment. I hope this helps. Good luck.
