<p>I've tried searching online and found Dreamshootrentals. I've been having a difficult time finding anything for more casual wear, such as clothing from sites such as topshop.com. I'm surprised that there isn't much discussion regarding this in any forums I've come across or even Youtube. If anyone knows any sites to rent more casual clothing or lingerie please let me know, thank you.</p>

<p>Thanks everyone for the replies. Paul thank you for your feedback, I will make sure to get my concept straight with storyboards and reference photos so neither me or the model just dive into an unplanned shoot. <br> Jeff, thank you for the link but unfortunately I don't have IOS which is required to download. I will search for some more rental websites and if you happen to know any that are accessible for all software users I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you everyone. </p>

<p>I would like to begin taking portraits of models soon just for hobby but I have a specific vision in mind for my themes, 'vintage with a splash of modern'. The thing is, I will be shooting 35mm and large format and will have to spend money on developing and scanning as well as film itself. I understand that if I want to make certain that I capture my vision I should provide the clothes, but when a model does reply to an ad I'm just wondering if it is already expected of me (the photographer) to be the one providing the clothes or is it usually the model who does this? My second question is, to avoid having to spend a large amount of money on clothes that I wouldn't be wearing, is it acceptable to return these clothes back to the company to receive a refund as long as they are in good condition and meets the companies policy on returns?</p>

<p>So I've noticed that in the dark the meter gives me a correct exposure, however while I'm out in the sunlight or even if I turn on a bright light in my bedroom then the red circle will flash signaling an incorrect exposure or improper lighting. It's definitely not the batteries, but it could be the contacts? I'm not experienced enough to solve this one on my own, but hopefully it's something simple to fix. I'm spot metering if that helps.</p>

<p>I posted a question about this before but am still having a confusing time. I have read the user manual over and over again and haven't found anything regarding trigger voltage, only SCA which stands for system camera adaptation and I've had no luck finding anything about that while looking up studio lights. I would just like to know what connection I need to make between the camera and the lights and what my maximum is for the camera. I believe I should be looking at VAC's or WATT's but again I'm not entirely sure. I'm more into the pictures, not so much the technical parts of the lights..I was seriously considering going to home depot and purchasing a simple light to use because I've even emailed Leica and they were not much help to me. If ANYONE could please explain simply I'd appreciate it. </p>

<p>Thank you very much. It's always better to to be safe than sorry and since I'm a beginner I felt way over my head.</p>

<p>Well I haven't had much luck figuring out what the voltage is for the Leica r6.2 <br> I'm really unfamiliar with using strobes which is why I decided to take it to the forum for advice. I'm not really sure where to go from here, I was just considering the PC cord because it sounds like the least complicated method. But the sync voltage for the the lights are 4.3VDC and claims to be safe for any camera and the operating voltage is 120VAC. If anyone could provide a little simplified explanation on what I should be looking for it would be well appreciated..</p>

<p>Sorry, I got confused somehow. I do own the one with the series VII filter. <br />This one: http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-wiki.en/index.php/35mm_f/2_Summicron-R_I<br />Alright, I see the 12509 listed there under accessories. Thanks for helping with that confusion.</p>

<p>Ah, I do require the E55 thread.</p>

<p>Well I'm currently in the market to buy a new lens hood for my Summicron R 35mm f2 <br />I've been searching online and so far all the one's I've come across seem to be for a Summicron 35mm f2.8 and I'm not sure if these would fit? I would need a 55mm hood to fit. If anyone has any links to what I need or information about the hoods for the 2.8 fitting my 2.0 I would appreciate it.</p>

<p>Would one of these work perhaps?<br />http://www.paulcbuff.com/hsa.php <br /><br />http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/765453-REG/Vello_HSA_PCU_Universal_Hot_Shoe_Adapter.html</p>

<p>Really not sure about the PC terminal, I' fairly new to lighting equipment. I was looking at the Interfit EX300 to start me off. </p>

<p>Just purchased my first leica, a R6.2 <br />I'd like to be able to use it to sync modern strobes. Would this require a hot shoe adapter? Any recommendations on what I would need? Thanks in advance. </p>
