Even without live view AF - good output here will entice people to use it as an option for more "filmic" looking shots. While Nikon is not yet at the point where they are including OSPDAF or ...

As has been mentioned already, with a wide lens, stopped down, this isn't exactly a challenge - especially in what is rather excellent lighting - I've shot in lots of venues where I wish I could...

I thought the Odin didn't do this, but it turns out I've been reading Canon related posts.  Does that mean only the PW transceivers successfully squelch the pre-flashing for full radio controlled ...

I had a chance to give this a quick read.  That's quite an interesting glitch - preflashing in manual mode.  I understand that the remotes are always set to TTL in order to receive communication ...

Probably you. I typed this sucker out on my iPhone so I didn't really have the ability to scroll back up and check.

I have 5 speedlights, including one SB700.  I trigger them using either the built-in optical CLS or my PW system.  It works well in either config.  You'll like it. Certainly they don't replace ...

There's the AD200 at $299 - and that's where I'd be looking for my small off camera lights in a Godox system. It's got slightly over 3X the power of a shoe-mount speedlight, and some options that ...

Yeah, short of actually getting a unit in hand, this is hard to suss out. I've read wildly divergent accounts of this flash's performance and it's hard to tell if this is down to usage scenario or ...

Weird.  If the YN622s are radio controlled, why do they pre-flash in manual mode?  A proper radio trigger should suppress communications pre-flashes, and leave only metering pre-flashes when in ...

Let's have a little sanity here. I use both a D800 and a D810. You can consider the file quality essentially interchangeable. Claff's charts will show you no more than a 1/3-1/2 stop DR difference ...

It will be interesting to see what heyve achieved with the eye point. If, in addition to making the magnification larger, they 'be managed to raise the eye point a few milllimetres...

In actual use only a very small handful of cameras have AF that could be objectively described as better than Nikon's current D8xx cameras. Some may have wide coverage, or unique features like eye ...

For the price paid, I'm pretty happy with my f/1.8G set, 28-50-85. If I were building a cost no object portrait set, it would probably be 28E, 58G, 105E (environmental, normal, formal...) A new 58E ...

I would not trust that sort of anchor tab connection. Looks failure prone...

First off, thanks for the info.  To some degree all the flash manufacturers do a not quite so good job of explaining their lighting systems' functionalities, so user feedback/experience is really ...

I sort of dove into the thread out of my own interest in people's responses/recommendations in general, but I will add that for macro work, optical (IR) based wireless control imposes no ...

I have some questions about the system. I've been thinking of adding the dedicated off camera flashes AD200/evolve200 instead of speed lights as the main off-camera lights for venues and ...

CLS/AWL includes wireless function, but until very recently it has been optical infrared (IR) based.  Canon had a similar IR based remote protocol, and for many strobes the first cords were cut ...

Interesting, thanks for the test! Here's a more positive review of recycle time: http://www.kentyuphotography.com/blog/godox-v860-review-is-it-better-than-nikon-and-canons-flashes/ Both of the ...
