David.. I have that book and fell in love with his work.. I was hoping he used a hassy with 120mm... might be ilford film (love that contrast)?? his style is so stunning

Derek... thanks.. I had read all of these...

Please and thank you yes... I had read some info on William Coupon a while ago that helped me understand his style,, anything on Nigel would be grand..

I know that Nigel Parry has a wonderful rapport with his subjects, and it

shows in his work ,,, but does anyone know anything "Technical" about the way

he shoots? what he uses? film type? anything at all??

 

Thank you for any help you can provide

I have found with SOME light setups at low output I sometimes need a second wizard... but only on about 2-3 light setups in close portrait

I can tell you one thing, you can shoot products with those lights, and you can get nice harsh shadows like they used to shoot old 40's movie star portraits..I would learn to use them for what they can be used for and go from there.. I have studio stobes and still mix in hot lights (sometimes with gels) to get some interesting lighting effects..

I just got 2 flashpoint II heads and softboxes,barn doors, snoot and beauty dish.. I couldn't be happier, nice units, solid, quite and good recycle times... I am so glad I ordered them

I have both a Hassy and a Fuji680ii.. I LOVE my Fuji.. I usually take portraits with the hassy(althou the fuji is great for that too)as the hassy is easier to move around my subject with,, I have taken the Fuji out in the field,, but you need a STRONG tripod and head,, and have to lug that heavy sob around in the woods..but the images that the fuji can capture make it the best medium format system I have ever used...

Well,,, yes and I have got many peoples opinions, along with tech data,, just wanted to find people with this lens and find out what they thought...

Anyone have one,, what do you think,, I just got mine 2 hours ago and I am

putting it throu the test phase...

I am buying and using MF more then my digital gear... bought a hassey 501C last week,, and a few weeks ago a fuji 680ii... I may even sell one of my digitals,, I can't shoot enough MF

I have done the same thing a few times... maddening, and I load my Yashica and Fuji.. no problem,,, oh well.. part of Hassy's charm

I just got my fuji gx680 complete with a 125mm lens,, I want to shoot

portraits mostly with it, but I find I need to get the camera in my subjects

face... I am considering getting a 250mm as a long portrait lens, has anyone

used the 250 for portraits, and if so how do you like it?
