What's the difference between this (with 97 CRI) and the other (with 99 CRI) which costs twice as much? Impact on performance?
The higher the CRI the less likely the color of the light will shift while it is on, the more consistent the color of the light will be. Having said that, a CRI of 97 is already very high quality in the Negative Supply 4x5 Light Source Basic MK2 (97 CRI).
