Tribute to George Hurrell

[jetrim]

Dude, you can find those old fresnel lights all day long on ebay, and those bulbs aren't 1000$ to replace, I don't know who lied to you but I get mine for less than 50$ sometimes.
search fresnel on ebay. The new ones can be expensive but the old ones that people sometime sell you can get from anywhere from 50$ on up.

I'll take your word for it, but anything over 8" diameter that I've seen starts in the $500 range in a quick scan on ebay today. Already own Arri and Lowell 6" 1000w units but they don't have the Fresnel lenses, and from what I've read in the books by Vieira & Hicks, Hurrell's were much larger and placed further back.

It's all good, I'll keep at it as time allows...
