DEDPXL - Anyone read Zack Arias' guide?

[CharlieJ]

I didn't see anywhere this fit better, so I'm asking here.

Is DEDPXL, by Zack Arias, worth the $28.00 asking price on MagCloud? I know Zack is a very good photographer. However, I can't afford an $800 OneLight Workshop. And I'm not sure about $150.00 for a DVD. The written guide for the workshop is $28.00. But, is it worth it? I'd rather go with the DVD if the guide doesn't offer enough information.

YOUR OPINION?

There's a reason we have teachers in school instead of just handing out books on different subjects...Its hard to recreate the experience of being shown something. Seeing the setup, the execution and results; you just don't get that from reading a book.

I bought the DVD went it was like $250 or whatever. It was a great value then. You'd be crazy not to get the DVD at $150 now.

I got the One Light book/magazine thing. Its fantastic. Its more of a book than anything, nice thick pages, with some very very easy to use information. Kinda mad I left it at my parents before moving; gonna have to get it back.

I agree the materials are excellent and easy to follow. If you are the type of person who like self-paced learning versus instructor led, then this is for you.

THANKS for the replies folks. I plan to order the DVD soon. In the meantime, the DEDPXL book is on the way to me now.
