Ok, so the nice people at one of the local rental places were nice enough to lend me a Phase One camera with an IQ160 back and an 80mm LS lens over the weekend for free. So far so good.
I had a nice little portrait shoot so I rented a few strobes. Today I set up everything, metered the strobes with a light meter, shot off a few shots with my Canon as a test and then brought out the Phase One. I plug the sync chord into the IQ160 back and take a shot. Nothing happens. I think maybe the crappy Elinchrom strobes I'm using (I hate Elichrom!) don't don't work with the fast sync time so I set the camera to 1/100th. Still nothing. The strobes do fire and the camera does pick up the ambient light but it just seems like the strobes don't sync with the exposure.
What am I doing wrong here???
