I use both depending on FOV, lens, needed resolution, FPS and tethering needs.

Yes. The Porst does not short the contact. Add foil.

The lens does have significant veiling af soon as there is a bright source htting the front element.
Now if I only could get the leaf shutter to work....
Have a great Sunday everybody!

I will take it! This is the kind of feedback I find golden. Clear, to the point and subjective. Much appreciated. Thx Mee!

Surely Pentax isn't a "professional" system ;-)
As always constructive critique is very welkom!
Have great weekend everybody!

Let me stir this up :-)
The distance from subject DOES change the quality of your subject illumination. The "relative" size only applies to the "hardness" of light... The dropoff / shadow transition is function of the inverse square law and DOES change with distance.
Also, and another big one: control of the light becomes more difficult as the distance increases...

As usual the correct answer is: it depends...
With your "I know it's subjective and I know it's also going to be situational" you are 100% correct.
If you want to add soft light, the source has to large. This "large" depends on the size of the modifier and the distance to your subject. The maximum size of the modifier depends on weather conditions and if you have an assistant.
If you want a broad image, you have to use a wide angle lens. If you use a wide angle lens, and the modifier has to be placed out of frame, your light will get harder. Another option would be to light from the front and feather it up.
On the other side, if your subject is smaller in the frame, you might want to hit them with harder light to get more contrast.
So yes: very subjective and yes very situational!
When working alone I prefer either a 60x60 softbox or an 80 parabolic, usually diffused.
Good question!

If you want localized soft light in a broad image, the only way to get it is to remove the source in post. Such is physics...

And the crops pushed 3 stops.
What are your thoughts on the fringing on the K1?
Thx for all the input guys!
The order of the images is K-5IIs, K-1 and K-5.

Here with profiles made in Adobes DNG Profile Editor.
FYI, the K1 sensor seems bluer and greener. Needs +50K and -4 magenta in stead of K5 -6 magenta

FWIW, I use LR 5.7.1 I do not believe it knows the K1.
The order of the images is K-5IIs, K-1 and K-5.
