<p>I ll check thanks ;)</p>

<p>Well I dont know the price for rolleis, synars, their lenses and backs. I think where I live the easiest is getting hassy, phase one and leaf (not sure if they are the cheapest options...)</p>

<p>As there are Hasseblad and Phase one lovers, there are all kind of opinions about which is better in IQ in the net. <br>

But keeping IQ apart, both have an interesting feature.<br>

Hasselblad has the True Focus wich should be fine for fashion and beauty photography and Phase One has is able to syncronize at 1/1600 with their leaf shutter lenses, cool for outdoors...<br>

I am a digital 35mm photog. so I ve never been able to syncronice above 1/200<br>

Which of these features do you find more useful in the real world?</p>

Thanks Tim

I will keep you updated with the results

What Im doing now is firing 2 vivitars from behind of the background (a white fabric) trying to emulate a Hilite

background of Lastolite.

Then I try to separate the model as much as I can from the BG as I dont have a lot of space in my studio-home.

Perhaps the light sources are not wide enough and I dont get a full blownout BG (And Im trying not to use PS)...

I will find more difficulties when I go into the full body shot

Hi I tried to get a pure withe background in this portrait:

<a href="URL">http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-16536247-young-woman.html</a>

 

I only got a hotspot in the background with a vivitar 285hv fired from behind the background and then I edited

the photo to get a full withe BG.

Any advices to isolate an objet or a person without photshop?

During the calibration process, do you have to adjust the monitor controls (contrast, brightnes...)???

 

With the apple cinema display in a pc I can only adjust brightness.

 

Is this a PROBLEM?

260?

 

Ebay:

Eye one display 2 pro 208 usd including shipping (spain)

spyder3pro 198 usd

Patrick, I wont install Vista in my new computer by the moment. I ll run xp pro so I suppose it wont be a problem with any of the two calibrators.

So it is a price question now... isnt it?

Anyone with this configuration (cinema display + pc), wich calibrator do you

use. I know about spyder3 and eye one display. Is one better than other??

I am in the same situation and Im going to buy the apple 20" but in a PC you dont have full control because screen changes are done via software with the mac os.

Hope I can calibrate well with a Eye One

You also have the Nec multisync 20wgx2pro with s ips panel but there are bad reviews because of the bright of its glossy reflective screen

I found a 20" monitor that are quite afforable with s-ips panel:

philips 200WP7ES

nec 2090UXi

nec 20Wgx pro

 

Do you know them???

Andrew, where can I find the 2490 for an affordable price. All I have seen is 1300usd

Hello.

Im looking for a good monitor for a new computer.

Could you suggest a good monitor for photography?

I wouldnt like to spend more than 600usd

Last time I shot with hotlights was with soft boxes very close (clampshell setup). Noise rally starts to disturb at iso400 in dark hair in my camera (400d) and at f5.6 with a canon 50 f1.8 I cant get the back part of the hair in focus (almost with autofuocus or quick manual focus)

I find that ebay shop Gadget infinity has many of these vivitars. Anyone owns any (with canon cameras)

I heard not every Vivitar 285HV work well... What I dont whant is to spend the money twice.

How much ttl type flashes will you need to have plenty of light to shoot 3 o 4 person full lenght portrait?

 

I have 3x 1000w continuous quartz lights and they dont give me enough light for a headshoot. I must go to ISO 400 to reach f5.6 and I cant deal with the results.

Hello.

Id like to upgrade my hotlights I use for object photography. They havent enough

power to shoot people and also they arent too combortable because of the hot.

 

As I am not a pro I cant go for a very expensive equipment so I thought in two

options.

 

Compact flashes with radio triggers (as the strobist way). Dont know if its

enough power to shoot group of people.

 

Studio strobes (I heard Alienbees is a good option). It isnt very comfortable to

go outdoors with this strobes and a powerkit. Is it? What about power

recomendation for these strobes? 400, 800, 1000 ws?

 

Im quite lost.
