marcybeaucoup Posted March 8, 2017 Share #1  Posted March 8, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Anybody out there using the SL+Elmarit 24/90 2.8-4 lens for studio work? I've got an online fabric store. In the studio I'm using natural light, shooting fabric on a dress form and want the maximum color, clarity and light. I've had the camera/lens about 6 months, still on a learning curve, so any words of wisdom or feedback would be appreciated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlashGordonPhotography Posted March 8, 2017 Share #2  Posted March 8, 2017 Almost every other day. What are you trying to achieve? Colour accuracy? You need a color checker. I'd also be looking at some lighting if you want to be able to achieve a desired result and then reproduce it exactly and consistently. Doesn't need to be expensive or large. A simple couple of cheap Godox flashes and a trigger will do.  Learn how to shoot and process raw files.  Gordon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared Posted March 9, 2017 Share #3 Â Posted March 9, 2017 Gordon's advice is good. Â I would expect that, shooting to support your fabric store, getting color accuracy is of primary importance. Â That means you need to be able to control the light, not simply use natural light. Â I'd get a pair of inexpensive, manual flashes, a pair of stands to put them on, and an inexpensive radio trigger then learn how to use them. Â That by itself should get you consistent results rather than relying on natural light that is variable in both intensity and color. Â The next step would be to add a color checker so you can profile your camera's response for your specific lighting conditions. Â The combination should be very reliable and very accurate.

Alo Ako Posted March 9, 2017 Share #4  Posted March 9, 2017  That means you need to be able to control the light,  To really control the light you need professional studio lights and lightshapers, no cheap Godox flashes. Flashes, especially cheap ones, vary in light colour and performance. You get what you pay for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Godox units are no better or worse in exposure and colour consistency. Certainly not for web use ( 8 bit files and uncalibrated viewing conditions).  As for light shapers for Chlothing on a horse I'd be using V flats or a big white wall any way. Nothing sophisticated required.  Gordon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tthorne Posted March 10, 2017 Share #6 Â Posted March 10, 2017 Likewise tested my Godox AD600 Strobes against my Profoto B1's, and I am not buying any more B1's... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alo Ako Posted March 11, 2017 Share #7 Â Posted March 11, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Certainly not for web use ( 8 bit files and uncalibrated viewing conditions). Â Agree. In this case you don`t need Leica gear as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
