Dav Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #1 · First Monolights: 400BX or wait for Einstein I was just about to pull the trigger on 2 Elinchrom 400BX's and a friend of mine started talking about the Einsteins. Does it make sense to wait? B&H just dropped the price on their 400BX kit by $100, so it seems like a super deal at the moment. On the other hand two Einstein 500's seem like they would be terrific if they are what PCB says they'll be. I'm in no real rush to receive the lights and I COULD wait if it made sense.

Gregg Heckler Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #3 · First Monolights: 400BX or wait for Einstein You could wait for as long as it takes or you could get a great set of lights at a great price, and start taking pictures. If you really want or need total wireless freedom it already exists in Elinchrom's RX series. I think I can safely say, most of what really matters is being able to adjust exposure output from the camera and you can do that with the RX system. Plus the light quality, accuracy, and light modifiers are wonderful. Jan 06, 2009 at 12:17 AM

Dav Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #5 · First Monolights: 400BX or wait for Einstein Absolutely no way I can afford the RX600 or I would be all over that. EDIT: I'll also mainly be shooting on location and I was hoping to use something that will run on a Vagabond type deal. Jan 06, 2009 at 01:33 AM

Dav Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #6 · First Monolights: 400BX or wait for Einstein Oh well, B&H just raised their prices $100. Doesn't hurt to wait a little bit longer now Jan 06, 2009 at 01:34 AM

Gregg Heckler Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #7 · First Monolights: 400BX or wait for Einstein You can use a BX-400 with the Vagabond II. Even at $100 more they're still better than anything in their class. They have wonderful color and very accurate exposure control. But, in March their new BXr 250 and 500 will be out with built in Skyport. Those will be hard to beat. Jan 06, 2009 at 05:06 AM

Dav Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #8 · First Monolights: 400BX or wait for Einstein What about a 600RX? Would those run on a Vagabond II? Jan 06, 2009 at 05:45 AM

rudiphoto Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #9 · First Monolights: 400BX or wait for Einstein They'll run on the Tronix Explorer XT, for sure! Jan 06, 2009 at 06:25 AM

Pretty good stuff with built-in Skyports Jan 06, 2009 at 02:49 PM

Dav Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #11 · First Monolights: 400BX or wait for Einstein How does the price on the BX/RI 500s compare to say the 400BX? Are they a lot more? Jan 06, 2009 at 05:01 PM

Are they a lot more? I think two BX400's are around 1000 dollars in the US. A set of two BX/Ri 500's is around 1000 euros over here. I can't find the price in dollars yet. But I doubt it will be much more than the BX's. Jan 06, 2009 at 05:14 PM
