Will the wonders of eBay ever cease? Since the creation of the strobist movement, dedicated strobes have been a somewhat pricey option for the amateur/recreational photographer. Thank you so much Mister David Hobby. Not long ago these units were available from $35 to $55; now those days are gone (with the wind), and now expect to cough over at least a cool c-note. So what can we do to offset rising oil prices, and a weaking economy? eBay y'all. With a little work, blood, sweat, and tears, spectacular deals can be had. With the right search terms you can narrow the billions of results, and get right down to the nitty gritty. Recently I scored a Vivitar 285HV for a mere $60. Not bad, considering it comes with a nifty Minolta SRT101 35mm film camera w/ 35mm (1.7) lens. So do some homework, and be rewarded with the ability to shoot some great photographs.
