I’m not sure there’s any benefit to the f1 vs the 1.2, and the price of the 1.2 is less than half.
It’s called flagship lens, it set the bar…. and it’s mainly says “Canon can do it, how about you Nikon?” not necessary will extract benefit for the common users… same as the older 50/ f 0.95
Hey Zach, my brother bg email me this thread, same trip, not sure if this is what they want…
take care,
MarkIndeed, Very nice article and impressive photos! nice work, BG! Cameron, I agree, it is nice to see T.F.M. in many places!
Mike,
I was wondering… What is the advantage and disadvantage sight fishing for carp with two handed rod? (compare single handed)I have a Genesis 200 w/ softbox and like it quite a bit. It uses an Elinchrom mount for the adapter ring, so you’ll be able to outfit it with a lot of accessories. It has plenty of power for small objects and is more than enough for in studio use. I have yet to use it at full power, even on full body portraits. They have a built in optical slave, and I’ve only had a few mis-fires out of hundreds of shots (literally close to a thousand photos over the course of a few weeks). So you only need the supplied sync chord going to one monoblock and the other will fire from the slave. The modeling lamp isn’t very bright and the replacement bulbs can be pretty pricey, but there are 3rd party bulbs on the market that you can get if you need to.
I’m looking at picking up the two light kit myself for use when shooting full band promo shots. The sunpak 383’s just arent enough when wanting to shoot around f11.
Here are a few shots to show results big and small.
I love this band shot, I think the photo capture the feel. The fly shot is pretty unique also.
A lot of the best big softboxes, like the elinchrom Octalight as an example, are really just big umbrellas with a diffusion cover or two.
The concept of umbrellas and softboxes are totally different. If you mean the structure of the “backside” of the softboxes resembling umbrellas that might be true. However, if you mean the effect are similar… that’s misleading. IMHO.
David , you always have the good stuff. I am jealous!
I did not keep track of this field for awhile, but I think Elinchrom probably is still in the leading field. lot’s elegant functions and great design. I know many pros use them, I have test one in a photo show and really love it. Their price are about twice more expensive.Matt, for answer your question one. It depends on what kind of light you have. If you have a very cheap one, you need to use the syn-cord (or some may allow you to attach with remote control and server) or use a small flash to trig the major light. I had a super cheap one back when I was in college (ET light) . They still have light sensor in the front. I just use a tiny flash to trigger the major light.
Now I use a better one… I just buy a remote control and attached it to my camera’s hot shoe. Then it works very well. I am using this one from http://cgi.ebay.com/PHOTO-DIGITAL-LIGHTING-STUDIO-STROBE-FLASH-KIT-1FY6004_W0QQitemZ360011401407QQihZ023QQcategoryZ30087QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742.m153.l1262Amona
They are 600 wt, the softbox is great for the price I got. I mainly shot friends, kids, and flies with shooting table. I am not sure what object you will be shooting. But 600wt for people is about right. They give you a little bit distance to test different angles.Umbrella is good, but if you are targeting people, as David mentioned the softbox give you better results, plue the model’s eyes will have great reflections.
Great poll! Hannah
If I going to fish one type in the rest my life, that should be a easy way to fish… I pick
