It took ten years, but I finally scored this special lighting fixture at less than full retail. To a world full of softboxes and umbrellas, I say: When they go soft, we go hard. Besides dishes like the Magnum, I also use the smaller Profoto fresnel (MultiSpot) for a dramatic key. This larger fresnel is a converted Arri as used in continuous lighting for movies, and takes all the Arri accessories (I have the barndoors). Of course, as offered by Profoto, this thing has a xenon flash tube and is plugged into a pack. No images yet, but I can show off the unit, so call this an extended unboxing party...

Business end shows fresnel lens, and the stippling that smooths the light just so:
Goin' crazy!
