Metz flases are way way more accurate and can go for a much lower power ratio than the f58. That's where the difference in price differs. You can TTL a Metz flash half a feet away from your subject (provided you can focus that close in the 1st place), and you'd still get perfect exposure. Not exactly doable with f58. Although... not sure if it's the same case for the f43.

Not exactly a no brainer, but the Metz DO have a high price tag.

Thanks bro... and great eyes you've got! Yeah, using a Lightcraft Fader ND.. It's variable from ND2 till ND400. Though, I wish I didn't put 3 sec. 1 sec would be sufficient.

Clive me man! Waddup bro?

With your lens collection, I'd say A77... ergonomics and 'pro' looks, the A77 win hands down!

that's why my solution is NEX3.. got it for 1/3 of what the Nex7 could be priced at, so, i'd call that a deal breaker for me

i managed to overcome that with my 3 Yong Nuo flashes... i use my Nex flash to optically trigger the rest... problem solved...

Clive, nope won't be TTL. That's the hiccup.

Shootkk, yes to speed up slt FF release please

IeR, really ohsem pic bro.

Xinvasion: welcome bro!

What camera are u using now? Normally I don't use DRO at all. Turn them off.

Back from raya syiok x bro?

Tuuuu la, pesal kahwin..

Pan head doesnt guarantee str8 horizons too if your technique is wrong in the 1st place. I personally feel that ball heads are more versatile and easier to get it into position than pan head, one knob to lock and release compared to pan head's 3 way adjustments.

Your prob no.1 & 3 is easily overcome with careful alignment of the camera, or u can get a bubble level to be extra sure. But I usually use the focus dots inside the ovf to know if the shot is straight or not.

As for your no.2, a bit of being more careful of your gears will be enough, panheads will have the same issue too if you are still not careful when u use it.

Zicron, you finished up your roll of film d?

niceeeeee

evankeat, hi, what's the news?

What camera body will you be using those lenses with? If it is APSC, the 28mm end wouldn't be wide enough, not that 24mm is that much wider, but its a much better investment than the 28-75 and the Zeiss is wayyyyy better in terms of everything, just so you know.

Syuk, wow! Respect!!!

C'mon everybody, repeat after me. I WAN FF. I WAN FF. I WAN FF!!!

What's your definition of over-editing for this image then? No offence, but I don't see a way to do a 'just-enough-of-editing' in between this image and it's original one, actually. Do enlighten me. The title says it, 'Imagination'. The viewer needs to use his/her's.
