Nitnaros Posted February 5, 2007 Share #1  Posted February 5, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) ... just kidding with respect to the subject line; no pixel peeping here...  But: I was shooting today with a Hassy 503cw with a 17-Megapixel digital back attached (Leaf Aptus-17); my friend took in parallel shots with my M8 and 75-lux.  Both camera systems were synchronized via Pocketwizard's wireless to Profoto strobes.  All of the posted shots are from the M8 with the exception of the last shot - this one is from the Hassy. The first 2 shots were shot during makeup with available light. --  Some observations: - The flash sync of now 1/250 on the M8 came in handy - There is really no need for a PC flash terminal on the M8; just put a wireless transmitter on the M8 hot shoe and enjoy the cableless operation (as others mentioned before) - Sharpness is a snap for the 75-lux, since we shot stopped down to f8 with the flashes - The minimum ISO of 160 is quite high for studio flashes; for such an (unusual) application a mininum ISO of 50 would be preferable - Exact composition is tough with a rangefinder (no suprise there) - But the advantage of moving around freely with the M8 is big compared to the heavy Hassy rig on the tripod (and tethered to a MacBookPro) - All DNG's processed in Raw Developer (incl. Leaf Aptus files).  Enjoy, we shot with the M8 for pure fun today. Peter --  M8, 35-lux, 75-lux Hassy 503cw, Aptus-17 Welcome, dear visitor!

Asher Kelman Posted February 5, 2007 Share #2  Posted February 5, 2007 Great idea!  The first strobed shot shows a blown out highlight over her left cheekbone.  Were you not able to deal with this in the RAW processing (ie DNG) or was this a jpg?  What software did you use?  Asher  Open Photography Forums Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitnaros Posted February 5, 2007 Author Share #3 Â Posted February 5, 2007 Asher, Yes, there is a blown out area; My friend did not pay a lot of attention to exposure; she shot at the 160 ISO of the M8, I was shooting at ISO 50 on the Aptus. She could have easily corrected that. Â All raw files - Leica DNG's and Aptus-17 .mos - processed in the most recent version of Raw Developer.
