Paul C. Buff, Inc. Technical Forum

My brother and I are horse event photographers, and we have a 5 WL X1600, an AB800, and 2 Einsteins between us. We love the Einsteins! They really freeze the action, and we intend to buy more, to replace the WL's and AB.

Trouble is, we're splitting up to do 2 shows this weekend, and don't have enough lights to light both arenas up to our normal standards.

The lights available for rent in our area have proven in the past to be frustrating to use for rodeos.

We wonder about 2 options:

1. Buying a couple of AB1600's - but we would want to exchange them as soon as we can upgrade to v2 Einsteins.

2. Renting lights from you (AB1600 or WL1600).

Help??? :)

We dont rent lights, but lensrentals.com and borrowlenses.com both do (can't speak of stock, service, etc. ) others may as well.

We also have a 60 day satisfaction guarantee.

Okay, I was looking at the policy again - don't want to take advantage, since we know in advance we'll be returning them in order to get the Einsteins - but we've bought enough in the past, and will buy much more in the future, so we shouldn't feel guilty about taking advantage of your great customer service!

Just hope they arrive in time, it's going to be tight!
