Guest NEIL-D-WILLIAMS Posted December 18, 2016 Share #1 Posted December 18, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have just taken my Leica SF58 out of the closet and plan to use it with both my Leica S007 and Leica SL while in the UK mainly shooting pictures of my newly born Grandson.............Ive got the user manual open right now but have a question. The manual doesn't mention SL or S007 so I am not sure if I will have to shoot in manual or does it work in TTL. I have an off camera sync cable so hopefully it will work okay. Any tips advice would be much appreciated Neil Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

R3D-D0T Posted December 18, 2016 Share #2 Posted December 18, 2016 SF58+ S combination is a POS in TTL. You're better off doing it manually. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

david strachan Posted December 18, 2016 Share #5 Posted December 18, 2016 Congratulations Neil, on your new, brand new, Grandson. Maybe better than a new camera... Set on manual and bounce the light off the ceiling, or a wall...forget face-to-face flash, it's nasty. all best... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlashGordonPhotography Posted December 18, 2016 Share #11 Posted December 18, 2016 The SF58 seems to work about the same on the 007 as on the SL. Because of the DSLR style of the camerra it has a separate meter for the flash exposure and handles bounce a touch better than a mirrorless camera. I find that switching to auto mode can help as the sensor in the flash is more predictable. HSS works fine. Gordon 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
albireo_double Posted December 18, 2016 Share #12 Posted December 18, 2016 A bit off topic, but the new SF-64 works much better with the S007 than the SF-58. Much shorter gap between the pre-flash and the main flash and exposures are more accurate. Fluent/automatic switching with the SF-64 between TTL and TTL-HSS depending on the shutter speed selected and the type of lens (the flash keeps in TTL until 1/1000s if you use a CS lens and then moves into TTL-HSS, whereas with an S lens it goes to TTL-HSS once you move shutter speed past 1/125s). I sold the SF-58 and got the SF-64. Happy about the newer one. Other than that, I've read somewhere that it is not advisable to shoot newborn babies with flash as it can stun them. I wouldn't do it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertknappmd Posted December 22, 2016 Share #13 Posted December 22, 2016 bounce while in Auto mode and adjust accordingly.. Hit or miss but that is the best one can do! Congratulations, Grandpa! Albert Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlashGordonPhotography Posted December 26, 2016 Share #14 Posted December 26, 2016 Other than that, I've read somewhere that it is not advisable to shoot newborn babies with flash as it can stun them. Stunning prior to cooking is the humane thing to do...... Gordon Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
