I took my new Canon 1dx Mark ii and 50mm f/1,2 L out to the Cotswolds to take some pictures of my car (the only subject I had access to at the time) the other week. I am quite happy with the results and I love the 50mm 1.2. The only thing I noticed was that the lens produces a lot of chromatic...

Ok, thanks again Phil fort the advice

Thanks Phil. I was a bit intimidated by the fact that there are 600W + heads available on the market. Are those more for on-location stuff where there is a lot of ambient light?

You should have just given it to me!

I'm looking to do some portraits with a single strobe with a strip soft box and a reflector. The shoot will take place in a studio but will a 200W head be enough. what do you recommend? Thanks in advance for your advice!

I don't see any problem with this thread. I also have a Youtube channel which I have linked here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJSgGGJV9Jv44t3V7-byQog

You can't go wrong with a slow shutter speed and level horizon! (well, maybe I am exaggerating a little but still:))

Wow, I have to say that video was fantastic. I am going to Greece in the summer with my drone and hope to get some equally epic shots but well done!

I had a play with one of these at the photography show yesterday and I have to say, it felt brilliant in the hand. I can;t say much for the image quality but corner sharpness appeared to be quite good. The lockable focus is an excellent feature too, can;t wait to try one of these out when they...

I don't know what it is but I love the first shot in particular.

I have used some of the cheap (£25) LEDs and as others have mentioned, the colours they produce are awful and inconsistent. I personally prefer my continuous softboxes in the studio or an off camera flashgun with some light modifiers when on location.

Like Phiggys suggested, you could adapt you Nikon glass to your canon camera if you are doing mostly landscape work as don't really need auto focus. An adapter like this one would do just fine...

I went in with a gripped 6D and 100mm 2.8l and had no problems

I use a fantastic website called lenstag where it saves all of my serial numbers for my equipment. It's free and easy to use

I would definitely say that a fast prime like the 50mm 1.8 would help get less noise in your low light pictures and you will find that primes are generally sharper that zooms aswell
