    Pentax 634Z

    Let me preface this thread with: So Thanksgiving has just past, enjoyable weekend and it's a lazy Sunday afternoon... So the Pentax 645Z has a 51.4MP CMOS Sensor - 43.8 x 32.8 mm, so why is it not called a P634Z. I'm sure the camera merits a lot in the Digital Medium Format world, and I'm sure...

    Hi All, I would like to know if I use the Profoto Air remote and D1 lights in a system, can I use for example PCB Einstein in the mix, but use that as the main light to freeze action and have the air remote trigger the Einsteins for its shorter flash duration to freeze the subject, while the...

    1/125 Flash Sync Speed...

    Hi, The newly announced Pentax 645Z has a FSS of 1/125, what does this mean to most DMF users who shoot flash in the studio? While I understand the following: 1) Shutter speed controls Ambient light the sensor receives, and 1/125 may limit how dark the Ambient gets! 2) Strobe flash duration is...

    Did the Sony A7R make you say goodbye...

    I know that some owners here who went with the A7R were also Nikon D800/E owners, did any of you say Goodbye to your DSLR, I'm curious to know if it did or relegate to lesser use despite the current lack of native lenses for the Sony? And mostly why? Thanks Po

    Background Material

    Hi, I'm not sure this is the correct area to ask, but seemed appropriate since it is somewhat related in a studio setting! I wanted to know of any recommendations on Background material paper. I have a newly built studio space in my basement but my ceiling is only 7.5 feet high! I have seen...

    X mount, what if? (Humor needed)

    Hey, I think it's a good time to ask, how many of you would like an interchangeable lens based off the current X vario camera? So begs the question... Meaning the same 16MP APS-C sensor mirrorless camera. Sorry again no viewfinder, you gotta pay if you want to join the Leica club. IQ will be...

    PRIOLITE: What do you think?

    First of, a quick introduction of what I am talking about and asking: These are Monolights, coming in at 500Ws and 1000Ws. The key thing about these, they are complete wireless lights except for charging, running off lithium batteries, so no battery pack or cables. Another amazing thing, is...

    Fuji GX680 for portraits question?

    Hi Guys, This might come off as a very silly question, but what is it that I see that makes the Fuji GX680/III so great with portraits, that I don't often see in other medium format cameras? Is it the bellows that allow for tilt/shift, is it the tilt that isolates the face to contrast it into...

    Nikon 70-200mm f/4 on D800 for events

    Hi Guys, I have a question about the Nikon 70-200mm f/4 on D800/E for events. I wonder how many of you are satisfied with shooting combination at events and can safely put away the f/2.8 VRII version of this range. Any experiences welcome. I know there's the price and weight saving gain from...

    Tripod Policies, your thoughts!

    Hey guys, I always wanted to know if you are NOT allowed a tripod, are you allowed a Monopod? I feel if I were an organization, I might have mixed feelings about this: Examples are like in Museums: 1) Allow: Because it's NOT a tripod. or 2) Disallow: You're pushing it sonny! (You know what...

    Dust settled users of D800E!

    Hi D800E users, Now the dust has settled from its release and there are many "longer term" users of the D800/E, I'd like to know what you think about the camera. Comparisons coming from 20+MP to 36MP, even as a compliment to Medium format, how much mileage has it gotten you that you're okay...
