Finepix HS20

Thu, 06 Dec 2012 20:18:18 -0500

by: Hugh Clouse

Description: New a couple of years ago (2011) the Fuji Finepix HS20 is an all around camera - Like its predicessor the HS10 it sports a 24 mm to 720 mm lens.  A bridge camera - yes. A great camera - well not a real SLR but when on vacation and you need to carry just 1 camera and an all purpose lens this is the way to go.  Focusing is not as fast as it could be, sometimes seeking for 2 seconds to find the focused on object but coming up with sharp images using highest JPEG setting.  I could not find the images any better using the RAW setting and with software not supporting this camera very well I stuck with the JPEG setting.  EXR - works just find. I am pleased with this camera's all around works. It has not let me down yet outside however I would not recommend it for inside action photography. For indoor hockey I found it not good to use and the video focusing needs a lot of improvement for fast action.  Would I recommend this camera to world travelers that want to travel light and get great pictures - a definite YES!

50-AF1-Digital For Nikon

Sat, 25 Aug 2012 15:40:30 -0400

by: Dirk

Description: Introduction  The Metz 50 AF-1 flash for Nikon cameras. In short, it's a brilliant, full featured flash that will meet the requirements of those who primarily work with portable flashes. Although missing some features found in older and current generation Nikon Speedlights (i.e. the SB-700, SB-800, etc.), those who shoot with Nikon cameras should look to this flash as a viable tool in their toolbox. For those who don't normally shoot with portable flashes, there are alternatives which are smaller, cheaper, and more adept to occasional flash use.

Portable Studio Lighting Kit 2 for Flash Heads

Wed, 09 Mar 2011 10:07:26 -0500

by: Jason Hermann

Description: The Westcott Portable Studio Lighting Kit 2 for Flash Heads is comprised of several elements. The Apollo and Halo softboxes are constructed using an umbrella frame. No speed rings are needed, just use the umbrella recepticle on your light. Easy opening and closing means easy set-up and takedown. The Apollo square or rectangular shape allows you to scrim or control the light more readily. The Halo provides a 140� of light spread. For direct diffusion, position the light facing the white diffuser panel. The light will have a bright center with a soft edge. The distance of the light to the diffuser panel will govern the brightness of the center of the light. For indirect diffusion, mount the Apollo or Halo with the light facing towards the back of the light modifier. With the light in this position, light will bounce off the silver metalized back of the unit and produce a more uniform, softer light. Use this kit to diffuse and soften the light from your studio strobe. The collapsible white/silver reflector fills in shadows with a soft, or specular quality. This size kit is suitable for a two-person portrait. <a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/168577-REG/Westcott_1050_Portable_Studio_Lighting_Kit.html/BI/7257/KBID/7777&img=bh-logo-73x50.gif" target="_blank"> <img style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/images/affiliateimages/bh-logo-73x50.gif" border="0" alt="" width="73" height="50" /></a> <img src="http://affiliates.bhphotovideo.com/showban.asp?id=7777&img=bh-logo-73x50.gif" border="0" alt="" /> <a title="BH Photo Price" href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/168577-REG/Westcott_1050_Portable_Studio_Lighting_Kit.htmll" target="_blank">Buy At BHPhoto >></a>

by: Jason Hermann

Description: The B1600 will perform. The AlienBees B1600 is a powerful, self-contained studio flash unit, producing 640 true wattseconds of power, with 28,000 lumenseconds of output. The power is independently adjustable with 6 stops of stepless power variability from Full down to 1/32nd of the total power, in whole f-stop increments, and everywhere in between. This flashpower is independently adjusted on the back control panel, with a slide fader that shows marked f-stop increments. Utilizing advanced durability flash capacitors, coupled with axial-flow thermodynamics, the B1600 minimizes heat build-up, has increased overall durability, and shorter flash durations. The B1600 is ready for bang-bang-bang shooting. The B1600 contains a built-in cooling fan, ready for heavy all-day shooting conditions. With space age speed recycle to full power in just 2 seconds, you will never be forced to wait for your next shot. The B1600 lets you see what you�re getting. With precision voltage regulated circuits supplying consistent output, the B1600 boasts true �what-you-see-is-what-you-get� modeling lamp accuracy. The modeling lamp can be set to full brightness, turned completely off, or set to track the power changes. Furthermore, the standard 150 watt modeling lamp may be used as a recycle indicator, turning itself off when the unit is recycling, and coming back on to let you know when the unit is fully recycled and you are ready to shoot again. Don�t be bothered with excessive wiring. The B1600 has a built-in slave tripper, disconnected by plugging in the sync cord, to allow wireless firing where the unit will fire whenever it �sees� a flash from another source. It will automatically dump the excess power, removing the excess charge when the flashpower is adjusted from a higher to a lower setting. The B1600 is versatile and indestructible.

Vagabond Mini� Lithium

Wed, 09 Mar 2011 06:37:14 -0500

by: Jason Hermann

Description: Vagabond Mini� Lithium comes complete with a high capacity plug-in battery pack, a 3 hour charger, a shoulder strap and a removable light stand mounting clamp. The Vagabond Mini� Lithium is a third generation controlled-current pure sine wave power source for operating AC powered studio photoflash units in the field from its built-in battery. It is offered in 120VAC and 230VAC models. Click here to learn more about the 230VAC model for international customers. Vagabond Mini� Lithium is small and lightweight (weighing just 3.5 pounds including quick-change high capacity lithium battery), designed to operate from one to four Paul C. Buff, Inc.� self-contained flash units (AlienBees�, White Lightning� and Einstein� flash units), but has application for powering flash units from other manufacturers*. The packaging is highly evolved and is completely enclosed within a strong, high-impact, flame retardant ABS housing. The battery is fully encased in the same ABS material and can be instantly replaced with the slide-in latching mechanism; there are no wires or user connections other than the AC outlets and charger inlet. The unit additionally includes a light stand mounting mechanism and a convenient carrying strap. The Vagabond Mini� Lithium inverter includes two outlets, a multi-level accurate battery charge indicator and a convenient front panel battery charging connection for the supplied 3-hour universal rapid charger (95VAC to 250VAC charger input). For operating 120VAC lights in 230V studios, the charger may be plugged in such that the unit is charging while in use, allowing continuous operation in most uses. For heavy use, spare batteries can be charged externally so that they are ready to instantly plug in. The Vagabond Mini� Lithium may also be powered from an external sealed lead acid (SLA) battery, if desired. The product utilizes the very latest LiCoxNiyMnzO2 lithium battery chemistry to provide extremely high power density and elimination of battery sulfating and poor efficacy that plagued previous battery-operated systems using heavy and inefficient sealed lead acid batteries. <h3><a href="http://alienbees.com/vmini.html" target="_blank">More info Here >></a></h3>

Vagabond II Portable Power System

Wed, 09 Mar 2011 06:20:33 -0500

by: Jason Hermann

Description: The NEW Vagabond II Portable Power System provides portable, battery power for all of our Paul C. Buff, Inc.� flash units and power packs, giving you the ability to power your AlienBees�, White Lightning� and ZEUS� systems in the field or on location where power lines are unavailable or unreliable. With the advent of the high power ZEUS� system, we felt it necessary to provide a significantly improved Vagabond II battery powering unit, offering faster recycle times from a single second generation PSI900GF pure sine wave inverter (designed specifically for Paul C. Buff, Inc.� lighting systems). This level of power from a single inverter is necessary for high power units such as the ZEUS�. The single PSI900GF inverter converts the power from the internal 20AH, 12 Volt battery into a current-controlled, pure sine wave power source. The system additionally includes a built-in global charger (for 100VAC to 260VAC charging), making it truly plug-and-play with no need for the user to disconnect or reconnect cables. NOTE: Vagabond II will operate 110V lights, but can be charged from any voltage from 95V to 265V. The Vagabond II also allows for easy battery changing and for connection to car batteries for all day shoots. Packaged in a heavy-duty nylon carry bag with padded shoulder strap, the Vagabond II system weighs 18.6 pounds, measuring 10.5" (height) x 8.5" (width) x 6" (depth). The Vagabond II can handle up to 6-8 flash units. To run more than one light, connect a power strip/surge protector to the Vagabond II, and plug your lights into the power strip/surge protector. The Vagabond II system arrives with the PSI900GF power inverter, the B20A internal battery (12V battery), the built-in global battery charger with charging cord, and the auxiliary battery cables - assembled and ready to charge inside the black and orange VIIBAG carrying bag. The Vagabond II system includes a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). A GFCI is an electrical device that monitors the electricity flowing in a circuit to detect ground faults. This built-in GFCI allows for safe operation of the system without the physical ground requirement. The Vagabond II is designed specifically for powering Paul C. Buff, Inc.� products and we cannot make any claim for suitability with products from other manufacturers, nor can we accept any liability for any damage that might be caused to such equipment. We will, however, warranty the Vagabond II itself as well as any Paul C. Buff, Inc.� equipment it powers. The system is not designed to operate modeling lamps continuously as this would deplete the battery rapidly, cause slow recycle and could overheat the inverter. It is permissible to operate the lamps briefly for light composition, then they must be turned off. <h3><a href="http://alienbees.com/VIIsystem.html" target="_blank">More info Here >></a></h3>
