Don, I dont think this is where the problem lies, the light is so 'one colour', let's say red that only the red photosites see it and therefore nuch reduced resolution. I'll post some examples later.
I understand. I spent a lot of time with trial and error to get cfl's with a wider color gamut... Don, I dont think this is where the problem lies, the light is so 'one colour', let's say red that only the red photosites see it and therefore nuch reduced resolution. I'll post some examples later.
I just thought if the existing light is no good, you need to add your own... and it would be nice if there was an easy to balance portable solution..
other than getting in there and swapping bulbs before a shoot, there is probably little you can do but use strobes or video lights...

The current shift from conventional tungsten lighting to LED lighting in theatres is causing me a lot of problems. About 30% of my work is shot in theatres.
The spectrum from this new form of lighting is so narrow that if the lighting designer decides to have a state that is all blue or all red or something there is a disastrous loss of resolution due to the nature of camera sensors.
There is also the problem that white LEDS are a very different colour temperature to 'white' tungsten.
Cabstar, are you experiencing this too?
what is needed is flash or video light options that allow you to set the color temp in camera... it really would NOT break the bank to have a camera take a manual whitie balance then send the info to the flash and have the flash set its color output to balance...The current shift from conventional tungsten lighting to LED lighting in theatres is causing me a lot of problems.

Now find somebody that wants to invest in manufacturing it.

I agree. I got mine when the mz5 was "NEW".
it performs excellent at 28 mm and fair at 200mm.
form 28 - 135 it is very useful... especially when paired with the kr at higher iso's where the lens's resolution and the grain start to equal each other out.
the only drawback is the "Dust pump" effect of zooming... in dirty conditions that can mean more dust inside the camera, it is an older design after all.
nice shots

This month's Bowens Litebook, which you can find online I'm sure, features women photographed by women. One of the photographers is a Spanish woman specialising in alternative work.
Sorry I can't be more specific because I threw the magazine away after reading it. I think her studio is called something like Iberian Dark Arts. Her work is very good.

I suspect a gxr module with k-mount is the easiest way to accomplish said goal.. they just take the Lieca module and swap in a kmount.
