It's important for you to understand where and how a reviewer acquires stuff. On one side, there are the things that you personally purchase, where if you don't like it you are going to be quite pissed. On the other side, there's the review where you are paid to write a positive review...
Most stuff I talk about on this site is stuff I've personally acquired. Sometimes I get freebies, however, and I felt I should disclose them
I've been pondering lately what I need to get my lighting gear back together. See, I've been bleeding strobes. First the one 383 super ended up in the bay, then my MS-1 failed, then my other 383 super failed, which leaves me the Sunpak Digital Flash and my Sunpak 144PC. The Digital Flash is OK, albeit low in power and the 144PC is what I use to trigger flashes, so that's just not comfortable.
