I'm curious if Canon Macro Ring Lite MR-14EX would work in Manual mode on the S2…. any S2 users have one laying around?

I confirm that the R1C1 does not…[Read more]

I used a rented S2 on a friends wedding recently. Absolutely amazing for outdoor shots (Bride to church, Exiting church , congratulation hugs and portraits) with the 120 and outdoor group pictures with the 35 and tripod. Stuck with the Nikon D3 for indoor shots incl inside the church, avoiding by this to having to use a flash at all except for…[Read more]

Kipper, I now admit I have the RED in a “partnership” with a movie maker and I would only use it for video as the body is not waterproof and not easy to handhold with your models. But no question about the image quality. From a balcony in Las Vegas I works. Of course I would want the Leica cine lenses but they go for over $100,000.

There's no other MF back on the market that I would rather have. But I wouldn't mind having one of these too 🙂 If there's anything out there that can render MF obsolete it will likely come from this company. Obviously an apples to oranges comparison…but wow on the image quality.

I used the extreme pro 16 and it seems a lot slower in my S2 than 8s however although it previews in the S2 ok it shows as 0 kbs when using a lexar card reader to mac resulting in no files for downloading.. any ideas ???

[QUOTE=Pete Walentin;1378]This is a question covering a lot of aspects. Maybe I can cover a few of them.

Thanks Pete. What you say is all true and I will certainly spring for the S2 real soon. I have handled it at a dealer and it certainly feels wonderful in the hands. I was concerned about the bulk, particularly for travel, but it is…[Read more]

Very nice Craig!! Great work.

I thought that the R1C1 might work with the S2 in manual mode, but according to a few S2 owners who have the R1C1 and have tried it, the R1C1 does not work.

Beautiful images…look forward to seeing more in the future.

Nicely done. You are a fortunate man to have such a lovely and patient model as a wife. Good luck with learning your lighting. If you have a second light you might consider using one for the hair.

some uses have commented the flash does not fire . look at my thread on the item. I wanted to buy it too

I am looking at the Nikon R1C1. The kit includes a 72mm ring that should fit the 120mm macro. Before I buy it, i plan to ask the guys at Dale for their opinion.

if you plan upon remaining friends with the couple, I suggest that you hire a pro to shoot the wedding. It is not possible to please everybody and your failure to do so will net you a bruised ego or worse. I think that pros know this and build into their fees a bruised ego and pita surcharge.
Another problem that you appear to have is that you…[Read more]

Really nice. Love especially the sunset ones where you see the huge DR.

amazing photos! I especially like Sand Dunes #2, well done in BW

This is a question covering a lot of aspects. Maybe I can cover a few of them.

First there will be always at one point a system that is better then the one you have. Waiting for this system will lead to never ever have a system.

Second what is your expectation of a system? What are your requirements? Do you need a weather sealed…[Read more]

David, my experience using this setup is that I have to push the exposure of the flash to +1 or maybe even more and of course this depending on the height of the ceiling and overall available…[Read more]

My main issue is flash. The SF58 and I are simply not friends. Sometimes I get decent results but not because I…

Hear! Hear! Unfortunately, I do not have enough time these days to make enough of my camera.

I still remember the PM you sent me about a year ago on GETDpi, saying that you were looking into the system and encouraging me to not be discouraged by the pushing of the alternative brands and the then S2 bashing. One of the factors that we…[Read more]

Thanks ! 😉
