It will work, but not optimally because the ABR built in reflector is 80. You should get the full efficiency of the PLM but the light will be effectively smaller. I\'l try to do some test shots with ABR soon but I have so much on my plate We have heard some good results from a couple of customers.
\"The key to good management is delegation of responsibilities.\"
You need to find a local photographer, who is also a customer, and give or loan him some modifiers in trade for sample photos. Get some real life pics in use. I\'m sure plenty would jump on it, I know i would.
At the risk of wrath of those here who like to expound on how I should run my business and life, I find your comments assume you know considerably more about how I should go about various tasks, and that your solutions a certainly better than mine. I suspect you have vast experience in this area?
The reason I react so strongly is because of your implication that neither I nor my staff understand management and you do, followed by an unsolicited \"You Need to . . . \" This is telling other people what to do without them asking your opinion - a basic flaw in communications that is not constructive.
I\'m sure you didn\'t intend it this way, but I felt the need to comment on how such a statement comes off. In my advertising and communications I make it a point to never say \"You should buy this,\" Or \"you need this\". I would never presume to know what my customers need or to tell them what they should buy. Now, if they ask opinions on these subject, we will gladly go over the pros and cons of what we suggest and for what reasons. Often times the answer may be the purchase of a competitor\'s product. In my opinion, this is the key to excellent customer relations. . . . notice the IMHO.
On the subject of giving equipment to local photographers to test, I\'m sad to say that not one in a thousand local photographers, or even the majority of magazine \"testers\" are capable of doing the technical analysis and measurement necessary to supply me, or my customers with much more the \"Yep - it took a picture.\"
No offense intended. A preface such as \"In my opinion\" or \"I am not qualified to tell you what you should do, but here\'s a suggestion from my point of view.\"
Coming on too strong on such a minor point? Maybe. But the state of communication today is a far cry from what it used to be in the US I grew up in.
