I've been thinking of getting the B10x Plus and I'd like to be able to use this with some of my analog cameras as well via PC cable. Does anyone know if a Pocket Wizard (specifically the PLUS II) will trigger this light? Previously, i used a Profoto D4 pack with the PW PLUS II and had no issues with it on a Mamiya RZ67. I was wondering if maybe the PW PLUS II could also trigger a B10x Plus? I do have the fancy Profoto Air remote with a screen, but unfortunately doesn't have a sync port (which is stupid, imo) and only works with my Canon. The older Air remote that does have the ports basically costs just as much as the current one, and i would rather not spend another $400+ on a remote just for a port.

Im trying to locate the serial numbers for several Sekor Z lenses that i own, but i can't really seem to find them. There is a sticker with two letters on the lens mount and a 5-digit number next to where the lens information is on the front element. I'm hoping someone can help me find the serial numbers for these old lenses because i cant really seem to find them on my own.

The studio i am currently at has a Profoto D4 pack that is currently out of commission and we don't really know what is wrong with it. The pack lights up and turns on just fine when plugged in and the strobe heads also power up when plugged in. Everything on the pack lights up perfectly, however, the problems start when you try to fire the heads. The pack can't seem to fire the strobe heads. We've tried multiple heads and the result is all the same: the pack wont fire the heads. I know it's very hard to diagnose an issue like this without cracking the unit open, but what could be wrong with it? I feel like repairs on this pack would probably break the bank, but it is a very expensive power pack and it's a shame to just watch it sit in a corner and not get used.

<p>Hi everyone, <br /> One of my photo professors gave me a few rolls of some old Fuji Reala 100 120 and the stuff is literally older than I am (expired in 1992). The film has been sitting in my fridge for a while now and I'd really like to go out and shoot it, but i don't really know how to expose film that is over 24 years old. Does anyone know what the best way to go about shooting this film would be? I've shot expired Reala 100 before that expired in 2005 with amazing results. The picture linked was shot by exposing 1 stop higher than normal--on top of correcting for reciprocity failure. However, I feel like this would be different with the current batch that i have seeing as how its twice as old.</p><div></div>

<p>Thanks for the advice guys! I have a few rolls of 400 (both 120 and 35mm) left so i might test them by shooting them at 800 and experimenting with pushing one to see what's better. </p>

<p>Ahh no, no offense taken. It's the same with me; indoor portraits are something that is rather out of my comfort zone so i want to have a better understanding of how to do this before i go out and shoot. </p>

<blockquote> <p>Learn scanning and post processing of Color negative film. Color correction and lighting is also a must. <br />Those look also like you need a good tripod.</p> </blockquote> <p>I mean i have all of those basics covered because i shoot long exposures with film at night so the processing is no issue. I was more worried about getting the exposure right seeing as how i dont have money to throw around since film is expensive these days. </p>

<p>I've been browsing around Todd Hido's work recently and i fell in love with some of the portraits that he's done indoors. I figured portra 800 would be the best for this type of stuff, but i dont have much experience shooting film indoors. What would you guys recommend as far as metering and exposure? I plan on using an P67 with a 55mm f4, which i think is a bit slow, but it's all i have right now and it seems to work for him pretty well. </p> <p>Here are a few links to his work so you can get an idea of what i'm talking about:<br> http://41.media.tumblr.com/6487d94b0ce3a511f1bcf36920224d45/tumblr_mgazqtde6q1qk32qbo1_500.jpg</p> <p>http://edgereps.com/wp-content/uploads/Completed%20Portfolios/TODD%20HIDO/2_TH-Portfolio%202/THP2-03.jpg</p> <p>http://edgereps.com/wp-content/uploads/Completed%20Portfolios/TODD%20HIDO/2_TH-Portfolio%202/THP2-09.jpg</p> <p>http://edgereps.com/wp-content/uploads/Completed%20Portfolios/TODD%20HIDO/1_TH-Portfolio%201/THP1-05.jpg</p>
