phineas_tarbolde1 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 What kind of flash system is commonly used with medium format in the field (e.g. wedding or outdoor portaits) -- assuming you have the flash unit(s) OFF camera on a stand? Just curious what most pros/advanced amatuers use. I take it that powerpacks combined with strobes is too cumbersome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vcallaway Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I have a couple of vivitar 285's.<p> Check out <a href="http://strobist.blogspot.com/">strobist.blogspot.com</a>. This guy has some really good writeups on minimalist lighting. Mostly about using portable strobes off camera for location shoots. Very worth reading.

johnmarkpainter Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 What is your camera? Q Flash with Quantum Turbo Battery pack is kind of a standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Ingold Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 I use a Q-flash, and I've seen colleagues use Norman and Lumedyne units - all battery powered. There are big inverters that will work with some monolights, but I've not seen them used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twmeyer Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 <a href="http://www.dg28.com">Neil Turner</a> uses what I use.. <a href="http://www.lumedyne.com">Lumedyne</a>. Small, powerful, tough. Weak modeling light. I love them... you need to know what you're doing <i>before</i> you use these for a paying job.
