This past weekend I had a great opportunity to play with newest Hasselblad model, H4x (x for extended) medium format camera. As you know (if not, check here) I own an old PhaseOne P25+ digital back for H mount, and I use it with a H1 Hasselblad. It works great and I love the system, but I was locked
I had an opportunity to test the Elinchrom RX series strobe lighting in a studio environment. I’ve got one of the most interesting Elinchrom’s to work with, the top of the line Style RX 600 Pro monolight and Digital RX 1200 Pro Power Pack with A3000N speed flash head. Below are my personal thoughts and conclusions
Take a look at this craziness: It is done by fisheye lens:-)) Recently I’ve picked up a Canon 8-15mm F4.0 L fisheye lens and wanted to share my first impressions:-) 1. Body and design Canon 8-15mm F4.0L fisheye lens
The lens is very similar to the Canon 14mm F2.8L by size and look. I was using the 14mm for commercial architecture assignments a
A day ago, I installed Windows 8 developer edition (it’s free from Microsoft) on my Acer W500 tablet PC (more about it here). In general I’ve liked my win-based tablet PC, but with Windows 7 some of the tasks were not easy to deal with on a touchscreen. Plus, it was considerably slower than most of the
I was always looking on the tablet devices, and the only thing was stopping me from buying one is that I could not find a use for it: -) Web browsing, ebook reading, occasional video, emails, Skype and similar activities I happy to perform on my DroidX2 phone. Larger screen alone was never a deal
I do not read much magazines these days, you know… And if I read something, it is usually not about photography. There is a reason for this: I’ve found (it was about 5 years ago) that unfortunately there are almost no photography-related magazines exist which I can read without getting over tons of advertisements and
Do you remember a question I asked the Universe a few weeks ago? Well, Here’s the answer:
:-))) I hope you’re smiling now :-))) The real thing: Now that I’ve got a Hasselblad H1 camera now and I’m going to be using with with a PhaseOne P25+ back. It’s not going to replace my Canon 5D MKII, as I want
My fellow pixiq.com expert, photographer and writer Haje Jan Kamps has this very cool project in development I want to tell you about. He is working on a universal remote triggering device which will work with any DSLR and it will carry laser, sound and time triggers all built-in. Plus an AUX input for any
As promised, I run few in-studio tests to see if there is any noticeable difference in IQ between 35mm DLSR Canon 5D mark II and Phase One p25+ medium format digital back. This comparison makes more sense than the previous one between Canon 1Ds Mk III and Hasselblad H4D-50 I had earlier. Phase One P25+ vs
Now, when I’ve got everything assembled and working, I am excited to show my new studio camera, Cambo Ultima D:
My previous setup (cambo master PC + 1Ds Mk III) was very cool view camera learning tool , but now I feel the difference: Working with this Cambo Ultima is like a riding a Mercedes-Benz after
Leica X1 vs Fuji X100: in studio test This is a second part (read first part here) of my review of Leica X1 and Fujifilm X100 P&S cameras. I still call them this way, as having a viewfinder does not change a nature of the camera, IMO :-) Now
I’ve always been looking for something small like a point and shoot, but powerful and fast like DSLR to carry around with me. The first time I saw the Fuji x100, I already new that this would be a good candidate for the camera I was looking for. I have never
Last week I have a chance to play with top of the Leaf’s line of digital backs, Leaf Aptus-II 12, 80-megapixel digital back mounted on Phase One 645DF camera. Many thanks to Steve Hendrix from Capture Integration for bringing all this beauty to the studio. I’ve got a video as well, it will be posted
I know this questions was raised millions times on many discussion boards, but because I couldn’t find a good image quality comparison results, I’ve decided to run few tests myself. Now, when I’ve got Canon 5D MkII as a secondary camera and looking to get MF digital back for my studio view camera, the
Questions and Answers. Quite often I receive interesting questions about the particular lighting setup or issue with the particular shot that other photographers are dealing with and such questions is not directly related to any post I have here in the blog. Read More->>
