I admire you enthusiasm and with hard work I am sure it will paid off at the end. It seems like you know your light well so you will not need any more support. If you like I can show you how I shoot wedding with flash but we all have our ways of doing thing.I found that Nikon SB800 flash works perfectly with Contax 645. I can shoot about every second which is excellent performance for action, up to date flashes cannot fire faster.
I also prepared two fully charged Macbook batteries, which should give me approximately 3 full hours of tethered work.
Well, lets see, I will probably post something after the wedding :thumbup:
By the way all current images in my gallery on this web site are from 35mm film
I'm new to MFDB. I started learning CaptureShop software as Thierry adviced. I never shot tethered before as well.

The 54M is really not big and weights approx 400g, I think. But I cannot handle the Weight of all my Contax 645 gear, Nikon flash, Macbook and spare batteries in bag. :banghead: :ROTFL:BTW I have used all 22 megapixels back and the best 22 megapixels back that I ever own is the Sinar 54H in single shot mode to be fair. I am sure your Sinar back is the same way but much lighter than mine.

I have only tethered 54M back right now. I paid same as Kodak backs on eBay. But 54M is close to full frame with large sensor and more pixels. So, lets have fun :thumbs:Hey, I'm always open to new ideas ... and I fully grasp the goal of higher image quality ... which is why I often shoot some wedding work with a H3D-II or 203FE/CFV ... but I do not fully understand this idea of experimenting with tethered shooting at someone's wedding, family or not.
