PrioLite + Pentax 645D

tc95 · 08-09-2015, 09:16 PM

Ok so I wanted to try the High-Speed Sync ... so I picked-up a couple of PrioLite's for Pentax System... called/checked and this is the first time I am playing with them... so far the build is good... the functionality is good... Price Sucks..!!! ... but to shoot high-speed-sync ... I think it was worth it... (at least for me)...

MBX 500 HotSync Starter

Please these are the first images taken with them... not the best but shows there potential...

Info.... 645D + 55 2.8 ISO-200 1/4000 ... PrioLite at 70% to 75%... Power...

Thanks for sharing! Those lights definitely open up new possibilities for Pentax medium format users, even though the price might scare some away.

Where these shot in a studio? (looking at the curvature of the wall)

If so why the need for high speed sync?

If your shooting outside, yea as you get to control the ambient but in the studio just dim the lights and let the flash duration do the thing unless your strobes have a long flash duration that is.

Usuqa -

- Yes these were at a friend of mine's studio using his infinity wall...

- I have a few projects, that will need high-speed syncs... these were just tests... I have actually done these pictures at 1/100 speeds...with full flash power... these were taken in full day light... so I was really impressed...

Thanks for looking...
