The last time I did this type of shoot, I used my K7 and 16-50 DA* set at f16 with two off camera metz flashes, synced at 180. RAW shots were under exposed and just adjusted in post processing.
Had no issues with focus, and picture blown up to 60x40cm on canvas is very clear and sharp.

Just tried this out with my 50mm A 1.4 and it worked really well, though the picture went darker and more grainey as the ISO was automatically adjusted to keep up! An the clicks on film were very loud. I don't have an external mic to see if this eliminated the clicks, however, they were so loud, that I can't imagin anything other then a long gun mic making any difference.beakynet wrote:
Stephan is correct, though I can't confirm the aperture ring part - I must give this a go.
Have you tried it yet? Stephan is correct, though I can't confirm the aperture ring part - I must give this a go.
I guess it would work with an M lens too, thoes tend to have quiter, smother apature rings.

Neil,
There is an option on the custom settings for long exposure noise reduction. What this does is when an exposure goes above a certain duration, a second 'dark' frame is taken and processed against the origional frame to effectively eliminate sensor noise. Turn this off and you have you camera ready to take the next frame straight away.
I have not noticed any difference in noise with the function turned off and I can see if being more frustrating (and battery draining) for very long exposures.

Enterprising I think! They set the system, a form of bartering. I often went from shop to shop getting ever better prices!polchraine wrote:

Someone I worked with (John) also owned a small shop which could get electrical goods but never cheaply (and he knew it) and he made money on repairs. I went to TCR and spoke to some shops - they said, we will beat any retailers price. So, I asked John to do me a "quote" for exactly what I wanted and he agreed to be in the shop on the day. Went back to TCR, they confirmed they would beat any price, so I presented the quote. They went off to check and he received three calls in quick succession, obviously trying to catch him out. The first two he gave the prices quoted and for the third dropped even lower.
I made a real killing that day - cost me a couple of beers afterwards

Cheap at the price. Your behaviour was fraudulent, so you were committing a criminal offence, and could have ended up in chokey.Years before the Internet I was left some money and wanted to buy some new electrical items - TV, tape recorder, music centre (for my brother) and in those days TCR was over run with cheap electrical stores who would beat any price.

I haven't been there for a long time, it was not like that when I visited - prices on most things - pehaps it has changed hands as a going business. I believe I spoke to the owner at the time, he was a no-nonsence type of person but let me try out a number of lenses, including the Sigma 10-20.

I have a few LPs but nothing to play them on!
I got into music at the beginning of the CD revolution, however a young friend of mine born after the CD revolution once, as a teanager, called them 'black CDs'!

I ave been playing with this on my K7, I now even have Mono set up as the User settings!
I like the in camera setting as it forces me to think like I have B&W film loaded up! A just select the appropriate filter from the menu and off I go! The filter effect can be previewed on the last picture taken so there is plenty of room to experiment.
