You can google tests on youtube. The one I found (from some Japanese guy) measured it at roughly 2 stops lower than AD400PRO. So it's not only low on power buy also a low efficiency led. I think...

EthanP99 the problem is that all Canon businesses are not doing good. And Nikon plan is to become smaller yet profitable business. Nikon Z6/7 are selling OK, and Nikon Z lenses are selling quite...

A useless comparison cause the proper one will be with the same softbox mount. The S2 bracket is black inside, that will decrease light output.

OK, it looks like you know what you are doing. I know that some birds might leave their offspring if they are frightened. Martlets made a nest once in our balcony, it was much fun to have them ...

You'll need very powerful light souse very close to the nest. I think it'll be stressful for birds, and that will affect their offspring.  You can use photoshop to lighten certain portions of the ...

Hm, on the same sensor those lenses look very close. Sony is a bit sharper in the center, Nikon is a bit sharper in corners. Leica wide angle sharpness in corners for the fraction of the price ...

It's a pity that recycle time is not less than a second and modelling light is only 12W. But it's light and if you have the AD200 already then you have a spare battery for free. I think if you ...

Hmm... The Nikkor 20 mm doesn't look sharper than Sony 20 mm lens in general (although 60MP Z8 will be a better testing platform against A7R4), it wins at some apertures and looses at another. ...

I thought so too, but in Ricci review those corners look great.

A night sky or landscape shot wide open might help to understand what this lens is capable of. From what I see it's razor sharp wide open in the center. Can't say much about corner sharpness though.

Your Nikon is broken - not a problem, just buy a new one! Marketing 101

Yes, I think Nikon is designed for astro photography in mind, that's why the front element is so big - to improve corner sharpness and reduce vignetting. At least on Nikon sight I see night sky on ...

I think that vignetting and distortion can be corrected in post, but not aberrations. Cause that affect textures and colors in general. That's what I see as Nikon approach. I didn't like IQ of ...

I'm just not interested in this topics anymore. I said what I think and that's it. To be true I think that I used this forum too much for that "what's the point of mirrorless" topics. Tried it by ...

You can't get rid of chromatic aberrations in post. You can remove them from most visible parts of the image in post but they affect all pixels. They reduce color accuracy etc. I don't think so. In ...

That's what I'm talking about - you can't sell a Nikon to a person who don't want to buy a camera. We have reviews and RAWs here. I don't think that it makes sense to send this gear to "internet ...

All of those. And speaking of "all lens are super good nowadays" just take a shot with Sony 35 F1.8 with A7R4 with lens corrections disabled. Chromatic aberrations never go away, even stopped ...

What we actually need is a good lens. And I bet that this lens will be better than Sony 20 mm. Sony concentrates on marketing, NIkon on engeneering. I'm OK with that, I don't want to pay for ...

This community will be more crowded cause we'll have nothing else to do for the whole year I guess.

I'm Russian too and I also think that Russia is a weird place to live. It's basically the last empire. And of course the empire is ruled by a bloody dictator. I don't think that Russia will outlive...
