If you have room to work with, Tamron 90mm Macro is an excellent performer for its price. A few Sigma are nice too and come in various length

By 65watts I mean actual 65w bulbs and you can't just plug them in on your lighting kit. Some of them are not designed to push that amount of wattage continuously, you might want to be careful with that.
Thanks again,

What do you think about the Vivitar 285 + diffuser box/umbrella + remote sender unit?

I read the vivitar 285 is pretty powerful. All the shots are going to be taken with basically the same models, so I don't mind spending time fine tuning settings for each model. What do you think about that? I'm thinking of doing 2 vivitar 285's and a remote sender (Just need help picking out a good remote sender for cheap). I did some reading and it looks like strobes are my best bet, and doing it with a cheap vivitar actually produces some good results (from what I've seen/read on the strobist blog). Recycle time is not a big issue for me, and I read that a single charge can give ~150 bursts, which is more than enough for my needs. What do you think?
