I have the Large Intuos4 (actually the same, almost, as the Intuos5 and Pro models). I like the larger work surface, although it takes up a lot of "desk space".

I've been using Nikon (Nippon) since the mid-late 50s', and Had only ONE problem with my equipment in about 60 years. Everything from the rangefinders (S1, S2, SP) to the D7100 and D800E; was a software malfunction. Bet you can't say that about your "favorite brand"...

Yes, I definitle agree;everything that John Storrie is superb. Had a custom vest made for me about 2 1/2 yrs ago...

It stands for "Extended CHLF" and CHLF stands for Camridge-Harwell-London-Farnborough

According to one from a different source, the kid was "arrested" (so to speek) at 8:35, and his mother was not called until about 10:30; do the math

How about this one; comes with the hard case ( and a $6K price drop)

Did you look at Paul Buff's PLMs? They are about $20 cheaper than the Wescott and will mount directly to your AB's.

It looks like your actually looking for a book about HDR. Here's an older one (from 2009) that I found quite helpful; in fact I still use it as a reference. "HDR Photography Photo Workshop" by Pete Carr and Robert Correll. It's still available on Amazon for around $25:

Actually the "top" synch speed is 1/320 second (in the manual).

First; leave the 3 long lenses at home (indoor group shots will require a wide angle lens). Use the "commander" strobe (on the camera) to control the 700 and 900 (as remotes). Best to get an umbrella to diffuse the 900, aimed at the group, and bounce the 700 off a large (neutral colored) surface; think, maybe, ceiling... Try to keep the group(s) as "compact" as possible. I use steps like this quite often. If I need more than 2 command groups for flash control, I switch over to using my SU-800 as the commander, or use one of my 900's or 800's as the commander.
