Has anyone had any experience in using the Hasselblad V96 C

16 Megapixels digital back ? How would you rate this piece

equipment ? What is your experience of the software bundled

with it ?

There is very little information out there regarding this back

except for sale pitch - feedback from familiar users would be

appreciated.

Also, looking to get into digital MF to shoot food and macro.

Is there one MFcamera better suited for that particular

application? How about digital MF ?

What do pro food shooters are most likely to use ?

What do more money conscious shooters are likely to use ?

Thanks for your feedback

What would be your professional recommendations for a start

up lighting package to shoot tabletop and food using 35mm

DSLR.

I am looking for a set up that can later be expanded as the need

arises.

Previous threads mention a minimum of 1200ws with 3 heads,

however and since shooting 35mm digital in a studio with a fair

amount of daylight, it would help to get more precise

suggestions regarding which configuration is most versatile for

the application I intend to use this for ; power pack? monolights?

a combination ?

What are the considerations to keep in mind when using DSLR

and electronic flash? Safe Sync has also been mentioned in

previous threads , are there limitations to the amount of power

that can be transmitted via this device ?

The main consideration is to simulate/supplement daylight

already available which brings me to my next question do all

studio strobes have the same color temperature given the same

ws? If not which ones are best at approximating daylight?

Many questions... but thanks to all in adavance for sharing your

expertise.

Could someone explain what one should look out for when

using a manually focussed lens on a DSLR ? As for instance

using a 85mm f2.8 pc micro nikkor on Fuji S2 or a comparable .

What does PC stand for in this designation ?

If anyone has used this particular combination of equipment, I

would greatly appreciate their technical feedback and a peek at

what the lens can do. Thank you. Vic.

Which lens(es) would one recommend for crisp, versatile results

for firstly : medium size tabletop set-ups of organics (food,

plants) and secondly macro set-ups, with either D100 or FujiS2.

Thank you in advance for your feedback.Vic.

What does "PAR" stand for in many of the HMI lighting

designations ?

What would be your recommendation for a start-up HMI kit. What

type of head(s) ? wattage ? The application would essentially be

: 35mm digital tabletop food photography . The goal is to

supplement / simulate available daylight .

Is the physical heat output something one should be concerned

about ? Any disadvantages to using HMI lights despite cost ?

Thank you for any additional information you can share in

regards to this specific application.
