Default what's your lighting gear?
Just thought it might be interesting to share what everybody has.

In my own PERSONAL gear all I have is an SB600, but I have access to my school's gear which contains 2 SB800s, 4 PWs, 1 vivtar 285hv and an umbrella.

I've been using my 580exII until this week, I just purchased what I hope is the "top of the bottom of cheap entry level" kit. The Interfit 200EXD, it's 2 200ws heads, stands, softbox, softbox, and sync cords. So far experimenting is going well, I use my light meter and get a reading of 1/125 @ f16 for proper exposure and the shot looks good so far...
