    Light tent

    Hey I have really wanted a good light tent ever since I got a really really good camera. But I really dont want to drop over $100 on one.

    Amazon.ca has this one :

    http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B005...pf_rd_i=915398

    Anyone else thinks it looks decent? I am tempted to buy it. Its only $40 + Shipping.

    I really want a light tent now more than ever especially since I just picked up that pied.

    There was a thread on here somewhere about making one yourself, that looked pretty good. Gotta go find it now.......

    Why not make one? I made one for less than $20. Lots of DIY on google.

    I have seen the DIY one before. But I dunno I wanted something that looked at little more professional.

    Ill check out the DIY one again and think about it.

    This is the one I made. It works really well and if you don't glue the legs on, you can break it down for storage.

    I use to have the very same and I would not recommend it, the light themselves gave me a good scare has one of them started melting.

    This is what I use now

    Lights (They are very bright and safe)

    What light started melting? Which method are you talking about? I use compact fluorescents and have never had a problem. In fact, they are similar to the lights you posted.

    The ones that came with the light tent the OP posted, they are cheap, flimsy and in plastic the light used

    What I am using now which is what I posted is working PERFECTLY fine
