Yeah, and I was wondering how the (hoot) he was going to schlep them about the auto show venue. I imagined maybe 30 or 40 cars, each one of them meritorious, each of them deserving a shot. Imagine, (as I could not), hauling and setting up monoblcks for each shot? > "From reading the post, I don't get the impression that this fella shot > weddings or PJ-style work. Not all photography involves weddings, and > not all photographers shoot weddings." A PENTAX AF400T flash is not necessarily "eensy weensy," having not only power, but nearly infinite controllability. With a STO-FEN mounted, Vivitar 283/285s do yeomen's work in the situations we're talking about. What we did not get though, was what he ~does~ shoot. Maybe a commercial, fashion or product shooter shooting medium format whose work is strictly indoors. Note again, pointedly saying "I don't use flash," then in the next breath saying I use ~"strobes"~ is dishonest: as in "parsing minutiae" **There are times when even fast film and the might LX can't handle low light conditions, situations where a "pop"of on-camera flash saves the day (shoot). But if one doesn't care ~what~ the results are... Mafud [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
