I am an amateur photographer that long had the desire to try studio quality lights. After quite a bit of research on settled on the Einstein units, which, while not inexpensive, offered qualities similar to flashes selling at 2 to 4 times the price. I was a bit concerned since, usually, you get what you pay for. I ordered two Einstein units three years ago, as long as some standard modifiers. The flashes have performed flawlessly. I've had no problems with them whatsoever. I've also found the features on the lights and the CyberSync Transceiver to be more than I could ever use. With the transceiver the lights are completely adjustable from your camera position. There is also a flash meter on the transceiver that measures the amount of light necessary. Of course, you can completely manually control the output power of the flash from the transceiver as well. It is true that I don't use them frequently like a pro would and they don't get the abuse that a pro might give them. I can't speak to the longevity of these lights for a high use user versus a Profoto or Elinchrom light. The extra cost of those well-known lights might very well go into their durability. But be assured that there is nothing "cheap" about the build of the Einstein lights. I've read enough reviews of these and other lights to know that they may need a little more service than some of the very high end lights, but from what I've read, Paul C. Buff honors its warranty and makes necessary repairs promptly (though I can't personally speak to this because I've never needed warranty service). Perhaps for a pro this is less than tolerable. But for me my my use they have been perfect. Would definitely recommend them to anyone in a similar situation.
