I'll give props to Urs for his great work, but I'm not down with his advice for new photographers. Over spending can bury a business and the fact is IF you can SEE the light, you can create it with anything. My friend Zack swears by a Vivitar 285 and a single softbox http://usedfilm.com and his work doesn't suffer for it.
