i have found that the K5 needs more post processing to bring out all the detail the excellent camera can capture...and of course the images can take it
^^ this. there's so much detail to be drawn out! I don't really see the point in the style of subtle HDR I would normally be drawn to - I can just drag the detail out in UFRaw. Scary.

Radio. They also have an optical slave built in which you can turn off if you want - I normally set an EF-500 to 1/64 power and optically trigger.

include images using [img] and [ /img] tags...

You'll probably need to stop down a lot to get the images you want - or use some filters, as I did. A .9 ND on the end of my 24-70.

The elinchroms keep their value, that I've seen. Much under £500 for a pair including stands and brollies is difficult to find.

I don't find the recycle time an issue. But then I'm not really using them seriously and it's nice to have them for the occasions I need. They're also pretty portable and come in a case, along with the stands in another case.

if you're really worried about the quality of the pics, then a real, dedicated lens is the way to go.

Got some snow-feet for your tripod and a flash? You'll be wanting them...

Elinchrom has more expensive accessories than Bowens. Bear that in mind.

Having said that, the it packs contain an eco skyport. So you don't have to buy that....
