Title: Light for modelling
Post by: aliluke on April 19, 2018, 07:57:37 PM

Just bought this light. A 1940's industrial magnifying light by Horstmann Pluslite with a magnifying glass that retracts into the hood. The largest they ever made and counter-weighted. Rare, in perfect condition and ridiculously expensive - it is on its way to me from Australia. Perfect for modeling! 8) But if it isn't it is still extremely cool.

Looks cool, but I cant use such magnifying lamps.
If both eyes look though the same lens, I lost my spacial vision.

I use two of "MAULvitrum" with very bright daylight lamps (2 x 9W) in each, one from each side, so that I have light from near to four directions.
