What is the main differance between 33" and 43" umbrellas?
I am starting to do some off camera flash work and buying my first strobist setup. I dont know what size umbrella to buy and what the diff will be apart from the obvious. I guess the larger one will dispurse the light more as there is a larger surface area (obviouslly lol)
I have a pair of Canon 540EZ and buying some V4's this week.
I found these stands on ebay that look good - Everything else looks really cheap and light. These both look to have some sturdy'ness about them

I'd probably get the 2.8M one just to have the extra height? And there is a lot of talk about cheap umbrella mounts so I think I'll to with the manfrotto one?

Is there a huge differance with umbrellas? I see huge price differances but I cant figure out why. I think I will just get 2 white shoot through and pick up a silver one later. Will it matter what breand umbrella I choose or will they all do the same job?
Sorry about the length of this and thanks in advance for any help!
