Rightio

Im going to start off with the simple 15inch pj. Best to start off with the basics!

Awaiting order from LL of lenses.

Still trying to source a suitable monitor here in Aus. 15inch lcds seem to be extinct I can't find one anywhere. HOWEVER~! today i found this one on ebay.

Could anybody give me an idea if this monitor is ok?

Most likely going with this lamp

Update! - I've finally got all my lcd, ballast and lamp, lenses, apart from glass and wood. Been too busy with new pc too many games. Shall post pics tomorrow if i wake up at a reasonable hour

That bulb is huge!!!

I know :|

Thinking about using that bulb too.

But is the color temp too warm fo good results?
What about the low CRI?

Anybody?


oh, and.. can the warm color temp be adjusted for with the lcd settings?

I think the color temp will be fine..

I'll find out soon enough anyway

Recieved my lcd today! Hopefully she strips fine. I think i need another lcd for my pc, these things are just too deadly.



Yes, i know my desk is messy.

Also, picking up new pc tomorrow!

Now just waiting on lens kit and lighting gear. Hopefully i'll get them monday

LOL. We have the same Monitors, Viewsonic. Your LCD looks nice

It only looks nice cuz the rest of the junk on my desk is covered in shite.
