I was just wondering after searching a lot around on eBay and other secondhand websites and finding many different cheap lights, wether or not they might be fully functional and suitable for a modern production. As you know, new lights and lighting equipment are expensive, especially Arri's and other industry standards. But older used lights go down on eBay for dirt cheap. I am interested in all opinions on pros and cons with older lights and equipment as compared to new expensive ones. (Mostly considering indie productions)
Thanks alot :)
