That's love! :clap:

The 360 afd has had some compatibility issues with some canon cameras.

Most will. If you have one light, use a reflector. This is a two light solution :thumbs:

They don't have a 100% acceptance rate much the same a Jessops and Jacobs who used no flash at all. This is simply a guaranteed acceptance process. Correct. Guys this is not a, you must do it this way and all others are wrong. It's a way.

For a general portrait yes, but the light is better controlled by having two light sources for an even shadowless image as required by passport control. I prefer two light portraits, don't forget it's subjective so I'm not saying that's the best way, just one I enjoy. It's what I like not...

It was just having a funny 5 seconds, during the actual shot I moved over to SU-4 fireing as the trigger was playing up. It often does, I don't rate the Hahnel Combi TF :shake: But that said depending of face shape you may wish to have one brighter than the other in small steps for an even...

Pleasure just hope it's a help to anyone! :wave:

Just thought I'd see if people might be interested on how I light this type of shot. Two speed lights set at about half power (may vary on some flashes) and diffused via two elinchrom umbrellas. One over head one under chin. ISO 200, F8 or 9 ish and 1/125th. Keep focal length past 50mm on FF...

You're too kind! I'll send some unwanted Nikon rubbish your way :wave:

That is what I said...

It's not that funny! :shrug: This year is my first product endorsement so I'll be public famous soon also! Well, I'll have a stand at Focus does that mean I'll get noticed :lol: :thinking: Indeed, I can't see an argument only toing and froing that was getting nowhere but hardly an argument...

I'm not interested in this back and fourth. You're just for reasons that elude me calling me a lair :bang: If you knew as meany people in the industry as you claim then you'd be fully aware of who I am and what I base my information on :suspect: I'm not going to argue with you I was simply...

Five to one is closer but six to one about right, I only have access to sales values for jessops so no that can not be quoted. GFK have sales data for you, and news, you just have to look here and here. Other sources are here and here. I can assure you 17% of interchangeable sales is a good...

I'm unsure of the challenge? Are you saying I'm lying or mistaken? :thinking: I am fully aware of what you'll find in a Jessops store I was a Jessops store manager for three years until I went back in to full time photography early this year. The reason why the sales floor is mainly CSC is...

Mine are based on the current figures available to my wife, who is the head of buying at a large UK camera company. My opinion on the sales direction is from close involvement with the photographic industry and listening to opinions of those that monitor and control it. My personal option...
