Hello Everyone,

Based upon my needs this coming week and a thread by Shockwave I invested a relatively small amount of $$$ into a Godox off-cam flash. The newer model trigger was either faulty or my brain was faulty so I chose to buy the older trigger which is perfectly fine. Works almost better than my Pocketwizards.

So below is the purchase, f/8, horrible :-D 16-55/2.8 lens, tripod, long exposure relatively close up at 55mm not getting enough DOF for the instruction manual but who cares. They work wonderfully and that’s what counts…..and, besides, they are not very costly. I do not work for the company and I’m sure other brands work just as well. BTW the focus point was on the X1 logo. Both images were converted to DNG, the Fuji by X-Transformer, the Sony by Libraw's conversion program and processed in Capture One Pro.

Oh, and just for kicks, since there was also a thread about the 16-55 and whether it was sharp enough I took a photo at a little higher f-stop w/A7riii w/Pixel Shift and the 24-70/2.8 G Master lens for the sake of a non-scientific comparison. It gave a warmer image and I down sampled to a similar size and here is the result. Be sure to click on original for an enlargement. I think Fuji is doing just fine. BTW I also took 2 photos at f/2.8 but the instruction brochure looked so terrible I didn't use them.

Have a good week,

Bob

Hey, nice comparison, Bob, but for heavens sake, please try to use a decent quality lens next time, OK? Jeez. You'd think you moderator types would know better.

Took a drive today. Tried out Velvia sim. Not sure I like it. Sharpening at +2 which looks like too much to me.

unfortunately in Recife (Brazil) we could not see the eclipse. The first photo was three days before the full moon. the second was on the full moon. I used a 300mm samyang mirror lens, and a heavy crop.

I took this late last night and while I shared it in last weeks thread, I am reposting because that thread is mostly inactive now and I am very happy with it.
