IShatterkiss and others: I really was under the impression that one of the main benefits of profoto lights was the line of modifiers and attachments.
There are features of the base system, and there are modifiers.
With Bron I use a number of quite specialized modifiers. Profoto also has similar:
* fresnel, large, with focus adjustment
* fresnel with projection lens
* parabolic reflectors with a variety of glass lenses
* Para 7\' umbrella reflector
* sunlite attachment
* fiber optic attachment
* hazylight
* hmi that uses same modifiers
There are also base features that are critical to me, or nice to have:
* repeatible digital adjustment in .1 stops
* ability to dim lights and do slow recharge (when electric circuits are limited)
* support for 240 volt power. ability to switch 120 to 240
* protecting glass for flash tube
* ready beep at 100% of charge
* up to 650 watt modelling light
* 5 or more proportional modelling light settings (so lights of different Ws can work together with WYSIWYG)
* ability to program multiple pops, as little as .02 seconds apart
* very heavy duty reflectors (guage steel)
