MontCollector Pillar of the Community United States 2403 Posts	Posted 08/02/2020 03:44 am I went to order a macro new lens for my Canon T6 DSLR, Well I found out that my funky home made copy stand would not work well with a larger lens due to the increased distance I would need to shoot at. This meant I needed a new taller stand. Well instead of trying to make another one I broke down and ordered one. I currently use 2 Jansjo Goose Neck Desk Lamps for lighting but the copy stand also come with 2 light fixtures that can take bulbs up to 300W Photo flood lights. Should I bother trying to get some bulbs for these or will my Jansjos work just as well? Here is the stand I ordered. Any and all advice welcome. Thanks...Mont.

You probably want something labeled "Daylight" or "Natural Daylight" or 5000k to 5500k. Basically a bulb that mimics sunlight, i.e., ALL colors. Report this Post to the Staff

I probably paid to much by offering $200. Quote: You probably want something labeled "Daylight" or "Natural Daylight" or 5000k to 5500k. Basically a bulb that mimics sunlight, i.e., ALL colors. Thanks will look for some with 5500k. Any suggestion on wattage? I am thinking 100 watts as 300 watts seems a little much. Report this Post to the Staff
