I am using an A55, may eventually upgrade to the A77

Thanks for the support!

Ah ok, doubt I will be going FF anytime soon, but thats something I didn't think about! Thank you.

Thanks for the help!

Thanks again though
Ian.

Lovely pictures

I live near Dartmoor/Exmoor! love it here, I used to live in South East London.

Sorry, just a question, will it work? I am really new to studio lighting and wanted to know if the kit in question will work with my A55? or will I need adapters? I have seen a cheap nearly new Lastolite lumen8 400w set for sale and wondering if its worth getting for my A55 at a bargain price of £25...
