could you make a video and explain why photographers buy like a single 500-700$ flashlight setup, instead of 100$ speed lights ? i really don't understand... what are the benefits given by an expensive light setup ?

I didn’t understand the stop of light power. My question was if I use a 1.4 teleconverter how do I make up for the loss of light?
