    rootbeer replied to the topic S2 and mulitple SF 58 flashes? in the forum S2 7 years, 9 months ago

    Ok I'm a novice but with Marc's recommendation I've jumped into the Strobe and SF58 fill light work. This is a barrel cactus in my front yard this morning. The sun is behind it so this side was in shadow so much no detail was present. Using Marc's recommendation on equipment and procedure I produced these photos.

    Top image shows the on-camera SF-58…

    David Farkas;4158 wrote: I haven't tried this lens on the S2, but a 300mm is a 300mm, regardless of sensor size. Compared to 35mm FF, a 300mm will offer an equivalent FOV of 240mm. Love to see some shots from the lens, if you get a chance.

    I just received a 300 F4 today. A couple of quick shots at the office. F11, ISO 320 1/1000
