Another question on which configuration to buy....

[gordo 0]

I currently have an Ikelite housing for my Canon DSLR camera. When I purchased the kit a couple of years ago I decided to go with a Magic Filter and NO flash, with the saved money I purchased the Canon 10-20mm zoom lens. This is the lens I use the most, but am looking to expand into some macro work. The majority of my diving has and will be done on Bonaire, usually no deeper than 45 feet. The vast majority of my wide angel shots work fine at this depth, but I am finding that some could use some flash fill. I am also assuming that the macro work will also benefit from the flash.

 

Now my dilemma:

 

I am looking to spend around $1,000 and have narrowed the choices to one of the following two:

Dual DS-51’s or a single DS-125

 

The Dual DS-51 package will run about $1,100 and the single DS-125 package will run around $850

 

With out considering cost which direction should I go in?

Single DS125

I agree with James. I initially only bought 1 DS-125 due to the cost, but it allows you to upgrade in the future by simply purchasing an additional DS-125 rather than having to worry about selling the two DS-51's. I think that it has also been a useful learning tool only having to worry about strobe positioning with a single strobe.
