Ultimate Wedding Thread 1 (Lexar Workflow, Canon, Sandisk etc.)


Item 1. Lexar WorkflowSet CF and SD ingestion system.

Hello All, this has been my workflow hardware for the last 2 years. All blazing fast USB3/Thunderbolt and it's modular so you can switch it between CF and SD based on the shoot. Very good for large weddings, especially if you have multiple shooters.

Also good for video folks that have an automatic workflow and need to ingest several cards at the same time. After our weddings, i would typically come back with 4 CF cards, or if using Fuji some CF and some SD.
Use Lightroom (Or photomechanic) to ingest all automatically and build 1:1 previews, by the time i was ready to work on them in an hour or so (Very fast.), everything was 100% ready. Awesome piece of kit for your workflow.

If buying new, here are the links and cost:
Lexar Professional Workflow HR2 4-Bay Thunderbolt LRWHR2RBNA B&H $200.

Item 3. Canon 14L II (Wide Angle for Churches and Venues.)

This certainly isn't the first lens that comes to mind when one thinks about wedding photography lens. And that's exactly why my images stood out from my competition's and i have venues buying my images for their own use.
No other lens comes close to the quality and width, and it has full corrections in Lightroom, so it's a one click to correct images. Very fast for workflows...

It can occasionally be used in a portrait or group setting:



Very useful in getting new angles on old established/photographs locations:



But mostly used in venues:

Item 4. Singh Ray Vari ND 77mm w/Step Down Ring.

It's a hot wedding day and the sun is beaming, but you don't want to shoot at F8, you want that creamy bokeh. Well this solves that problem. It goes from almost no ND at all to almost 8 stops. Want to shoot at F1.2 on a strong sun day, no problem...
Works amazingly with an 85L or 70-200L and i'm including the B+W step down ring for 72mm from 77mm. SinghRay is the highest quality money can buy. No CA or color cast issues with this one!

Total Cost New: $390.



My price, $350. including step down ring. Priority Shipping and Paypal included! Boxed and ready to ship tomorrow. Buy from trusted seller.

Item 5. HoldFast Strap

The best dual camera strap in the biz. Very high quality, very comfortable and versatile. Leather breaks in better over time, so it'll only get more comfortable with time.

Amazing system for those using all primes and having a long and wide together for ceremonies/receptions.

Money Maker | Luxury Leather Multi Camera Strap – Hold Fast
Total Cost New: $325. the most expensive material they make. (Don't confused with $215 version.)

Item 6. CamRanger

Well, one of my secrets is now out of the bag... Besides the 14L II being used this was used alongside it to capture those impossible new angles of old re-used locations. Really helps you have a new perspective on things.
As you can see below, we've used it on the Brooklyn Bridge, New England Acquarium, on columns that everyone uses for photographs, but NOBODY has used from that perspective... Creative possibilities this thing presents, are truly endless.
But more importantly in my mind, sets you apart from your competition.

Item 7. LED Zilla (Sold)

Item 8. Think Tank Airport v2

The best roller bag for wedding photographers. I used to carry the following regularly for each wedding:

1. 2x 600EX-RT flashes
2. 2x 5DMKIII's with RRS L brackets.
4. 14L 2.8II
5. 24L 1.4II
6. 70-200L 2.8 II
7. 200L F2
8. 85L 1.2 II
9. Various other batteries etc.

Built-in lock, and the best rolling wheels in the business. As you can see, very little wear on my unit. On small scratch on the back, inconsequential from rubbing. I've fit this on ATR42 aircraft between small weddings in India, Dubai, Ireland and Iceland. The best bag you can have. Period.

Think Tank Photo Airport Security V 2.0 Rolling Camera Bag 571
New Price $415.

Im interested in the Lexar but your new pricing is off which i believe will affect your asking price and do you have CFast readers or Compact flash readers?
