You lose flash power when shooting FP sync.  The flash basically operates like a strobe in FP mode, flashing rapidly many times at lower power in order to fully cover the shutter travel.  It works...

Perhaps.  But last I looked Canon does not have lossless compressed options.  Lossless compressed format on Nikon brings your file size down to a little of 50% of the original RAW file.  Canon's...

I have not done any tests as Joe suggests.  But having followed Joe's posts for years here on DPR I tend to believe he is correct. I use Sanyo and Imedion cells in my flashes (SB-800) and they are...

What flashes are you using?  Didn't your flash come with a small little table top stand with a screw mount on the bottom?  Mine all do.  They work great.  No need to spend money on extra equipment.

If the original camera was bought in March 2012 the warranty has now expired.

When I first read this I was a bit surprised at a suggested value of 235 in the red channel.  This seems way too high.  Then I realized that you were talking about the highest highlight value. I...

Thank you both for you input.  It was really helpful.  In particular, calling out the FW31 cable.  I couldn't find anywhere on their site a listing of what cable to use to connect the flash to the...

Thanks Ian.  One follow-up for you or anyone else. Let's say I wanted to move the Quantum off-camera.  For example, I have an assistant holding the flash on a pole with umbrella style of...

I'm not sure what you mean by that.  Basically though, if you're shooting outdoors in sun and you want to use flash at wide aperture you are going to have problems.  Due to sync speed you are going...

I am considering buying a Quantum QFlash T5d-R for event photography.  I use Nikon D4 and D800 bodies.  I would use the Quantum flash mounted on a RRS L-bracket and their flippable Wedding bracket...

Thanks for the response.  If you say you don't need the PC sync connector I guess I'll have to believe you.  But I don't understand why.  I have a Pixel battery pack.  It takes 8 AA batteries for a...

I wish I could find more information about this product.  From the little I could find on it I'm skeptical of how well it will work with the SB-800.  All the power packs that work with the SB-800...

No.  $15/mo for the two.  I would pay $10/mo for PS alone.  That's the current rate for the 18-24 month upgrade cycle.  LR is half the price.  So $15 for the two.

What the heck do I want with Acrobat???  No, I would not pay for this package.  Not if the price was higher because Acrobat was included.

I will probably end up doing something similar to what you suggest.  I really like ACR (Color Checker profiles are big for me) but maybe I'll just have to look elsewhere for RAW conversion in the...

The problem for me is that they raised the price.  They've basically doubled the price.  Yes, there is a one year deal of $10 per month that makes it about the same cost.  But you know that it will...

Control My Nikon.  All the features of the big boys at a fraction of the price.

I disagree.  Lens.  Look at the repeating spatialarrangement of the spots.  It's possible it is the sensor.  But I would say the odds are in favor of the lens.

CS2 is going back quite a ways.  Are there any must have features?  Well...  realistically, probably not.  I like content aware fill.  I'm not sure that was available in CS2.  But is it a must...
