    This also looks rather interesting.

    How did you fare out with sample shots?

    Thats the same thing, just a 2 lamps and a stand, which is really good, but you cant get it in ireland :(

    THey came out crap, I think it was the lighting more than anything else. I bought one desktop lamp but I think you really need two. Also I'm trying to get used to Raw but I can't make heads of it :(

    I actually just picked one up today, only 20 quid after all.

    I'll be doing some test shots later on tonight and will post them here.

    Unless they suck.

    Edit : Oh yeah ThOnda, the bottom folds out to twice it's lenght, with an alternate colour. You could easily cut this and make your own top of the same material. It's what i plan to do, but won't have done it by the time i do the test shots.
