Falsh bracket

2003-11-07 Thread Stephen Hoffman
I need some help with flash for my 645nII and 360 FGZ. So far I've gotten acceptable results but want to try a flash bracket. Does Pentax make one to fit the 645nII? How about Stroboframe? I've seen their equipment on the web but have no idea which model would work for me. Thanks.

Question about megapixels

2003-03-11 Thread Stephen Hoffman
I was talking to someone far more knowledgeable than myself and he was saying that there is a difference in the quality of the pixel rating between professional digital cameras and the garden variety point and shoot digitals. Something to do with algorithms. For example, would a Nikon D1 or D1H

Epson Printers

2003-03-03 Thread Stephen Hoffman
I'm wondering what is the general take on Epson printers? Because I really do need an all in one multifunction printer, I am thinking about the Epson CX3200 which advertises up to 5760x720 dpi. Thanks in advance for all feedback. Stephen Hoffman

Wow! Before you all go to the site to view the photos try doing what I did. Glance at the pics and try not to look at the names below the pics. I can almost guarantee that most of you will be able to pick out Brad Dobo without reading the names. Uncanny how some people look like their

Setting ISO on flash

2002-09-18 Thread Stephen Hoffman
I think I may have made a mistake while shooting with my AF360FGZ flash today but then again I may have been lucky. I shot quite a few frames in TTL mode then switched to Auto. At that time I realized the flash was set to ISO 400 while the film I was using was ISO 100. Of course while shooting

I bought one about two months ago and I love it! I'm still getting used to it only because it's the only medium format camera I've used, but it really is a joy. I have the 75mm lens but have rented a 80-160 zoom that was nice also. It really is an easy camera to use and I'm sure you'll love

Film developing

I know this isn’t something that should be done, but if I were in a jam can film such as Kodak Portra 160 NC be developed in a 1 hour lab such as Costco? I would normally have it done at the professional lab but I’m in a bind. Stephen Hoffman - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List

Flash meter

2002-07-12 Thread Stephen Hoffman
I'm new to the subject of studio flash. I have two strobes rated at 220 watt seconds each but they didn't really come with instructions for a novice such as myself. They mentioned a guide number of 165 and said for example that if the subject is 10 feet away then divide 165 by 10 to arrive at

Let me say first off that I’m new to the forum, asked my first question a few days ago and was amazed at how helpful everyone was. Thanks to all that responded. I have an AF 360 FGZ but I am new to the idea of dedicated flash. I will be using the flash unit on a 645NII. When I took my first
