At last!
It took a very, very long time, but I finally did it. After what probably accumulated to months and months of pondering and thinking, I went ahead and purchased a small but respectable light stand and umbrella from B&H Photo Video in the states. It’s really nothing much, and is relatively inexpensive (safe for the shipping costs, which is practically the same costs as the products themselves), but during these hard times, it’s something that I was questioning on doing.
Not to mention my 12-24mm lens that I have also been pondering on. I have yet to decide on that, and I may still splurge on that depending on how things go the next little while. I will be taking a sizable holiday trip this year so I was hoping to bring it there. We’ll see what happens with that soon enough.
