When you consider the time we spend looking at this stuff it's insanity to quibble over a couple quid on a light. Get the best and you won't be sorry. Squiting at tiny parts under inadequate light until your head is about to explode just isn't the joy that modeling should be.

Now I have a much slower on developing on the left side and it will receive surgical attention in May or June. It is totally painless. So do not worry about that part. It must be done at a certain time during the developement. So be sure to get those things looked at by a Pro. Ernestine doesn't help much in that department store. If there is any hazyness at all see the Pro. Might be a good idea to check just because you can.
