I was watching Photoshop user TV and saw Scott and Matt talking about Westcott’s Spiderlites. Has anybody ever used them? I entered to win a free kit but if it turns out I don’t win I am still thinking about buying a set. Any suggestions?

This should be moved to the Lighting forum.
---------------------------- No idea on the Westcott lights. I have a few umbrellas from Westcott, they were inexpensive, and fit the bill, and seem durable enough. |

I've used them and I wasn't overly impressed. Tripod and still subject; great.
I was shooting ISO 200, 1/160th, f/2.8 undiffused with the light 2 ft or less from the subject at a workshop. Once you put a diffuser in front of them you lose even more light. I also am irritated that they used Monte Zucker's natural window light and reflector wedding portrait and captioned it as if it were taken with Spiderlite TD5's. |
