I've already to a nice little Panasonic with a built-in slave (the only one I've ever seen) As well as my 2 Sunpak 611 units with household slaves. So this is just going to sit around. (Right now the Sunpak units are just sitting around.) I saw their pro shots from last year. It was done with one high-power on-shoe (or just above camera) flash. So there is one large shadow behind the subjects. (Dancers.) I don't find that acceptable. One consideration is to add the 2 611 units on stands, with slaves and diffuses, shooting at 1/4 power. That will soften all shadows and give a nicely illuminated subject. I'll be the only person shooting the subjects. Still, it might be good to pick up the AF200FG. Not outrageously priced and useful for this type of work. Today my lens choices is between the FA28/2.8 and FA50/1.4. I'm also thinking of getting either the FA35/2 (first choice) or the DA35/2.4. I did some test shots of dancers last night. The 50mm was just a bit too long. Fortunately my location will not have the mirrors of a dance studio. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
