I think Chris has more or less hit it on the head there... They are not controlable or have a range of modifiers that are easily attached. I dont think the 100w would be a problem. you just shoot at a wider aperture.
No problem with your or 85 1.4..

At the end of the day. I think we may have to look at it as "What's the alternative" If you have purchased a top of the range Pentax camera.
Put on an old film lens ? Last one was made over 30 years ago. From the video's I've seen this new lens knocks the spots off those.

Use a manual focus lens ? Surely not.
Stop a zoom lens at 50mm..? possibly, Not got the speed of the 50mm. If the quality.
With the backing away from Pentax by third party manufacturers not a great deal in the way of alternatives !! Though their new 50mm prime offerings are just as big, bulky and pricey.
Use an APSC lens and crop the vignette...? No.
If your like me at the end of the day I love the idea of a new lens. I just struggle with modern day pricing....

Opps, what have I started...!! Sorry guys..
Nigel I didn't exactly say "flash" Though that would be sufficient, any kind of light or just a reflector would do. No need for the flash v ambient arguement.
These images could be exactly the authors intention. So if that's the case then he has returned what he intended. And people like me shouldn't pass opinion.
For me the images would be improved somewhat with more depth to them, and that is were I feel they need additional light. "Fill light" to give them that. The creation of a lighting ratio. There is enough light from the main "Key" ambient light, on the subject. Creating a highlight no less, But the stems start to disappear half way down. With the introduction of agressive shadows.
I also did say that the images were decent and I liked the idea...!!

Cant think of anything off the top of my head. My first thought was low battery power in the trigger. But if you have used it successfully in another camera. Im guessing not.... I have the Bowens Gemini lights and the K1, never had an ounce of trouble.. But I dont use the Pulsar trigger.... Hope you find the answer.. I'll be intrigued to find out what it was...!!

Because with ambient light you have what you have... With false light you can really create and design an image...!!stub wrote:
