Dear Photographer,


At last !! A continuous lighting system with add-on “light-shaping” tools, like soft boxes, snoots, and other accessories is now available.

Photon have just released a dual-purpose 3x 50w LED Lighting Kit (equivalent to 500w of output, each) with 3x 50x70cm soft boxes, 3x stands and a carry case on wheels - all for only R7800. This kit is ideal for photographers doing stills and video shoots and wanting to use the same set of lights for both. This latest innovation is currently on display in our showroom, so please feel free to stop by and have a look. 


 
        
                                             
                                       


Pre-Owned Equipment

A consignment of pre-owned Broncolor flash equipment has just arrived and is currently being tested and priced. Please refer to the list below, and contact us if there is anything you are after.

Some more Nikkor lenses have also come in, and on the Canon side, the price of the super-fast Sigma 500 f4.5 APO lens has been reduced to R25000 - so best to get in first.

For more details on Pre-Owned Equipment available, please see the list below:
