Re: Cottonwood Basin at Sunset

That's the one. Great review. I am trying to decide between the X1D and the Leica SL. Read so much on both I think I have pixels coming out of my ears

Very possibly I just have to rent a Leica SL for the weekend and try it out myself.

Thank you Erik, glad you enjoyed it and found it interesting :thumbup:

There is a lot of debate about the SL vs the X1D, to me they are very different cameras with very different purposes; I understand the appeal of both though, so probably the best solution would be getting them both!

My H5D50 is heavy walking around NYC, but got some interesting street images

Vieri, that is truly the attitude of a disciple of Dante's Inferno. Well said!

It certainly is a lovely shot - dramatic and classic all at once.

ED...Thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind words. Pramote

Bob, it seems that we both joined in Dec 2007, while Bill joined a bit later than us... I am well aware of the byline, and so is my bank account! :ROTFL:

It couldn't be otherwise, Bill!

You know what? That's my favorite solution! Sadly, the money tap is running low

For some strange reason I also want a pair of Protofo B2 heads as well to go with my Leica/Blad camera. I think I need help with my GAS.

Back to regular programming with more images. I was walking on Madison Avenue in NYC Wednesday when I noticed that Barneys has placed a black background behind one of their windows on 61st street while preparing to change a display. I used the reflections from the window for this image

...GAS can't be helped... :grin: It's not that you want the Profoto, you NEED them!! :ROTFL:

New Profoto on the horizon ... hold off a little bit ....

Think Acute B 600 with all the B2 goodness.

Or so I am told.

That sounds pretty interesting I am not using flash much for my work, I have a couple of Elinchrom Quadra in the Hybrid flavour that do the trick for me. I used to use Profoto in my studio days, they are wonderful flashes and built like a tank - they became overkill for me when I specialised on Landscape, but GAS is always there - I better keep far from the announcements! :ROTFL:

Nothing fancy and in the spirit of "fun" with MF, I tried out some older Hasselblad lenses on the XF yesterday. I never was really into portraits using digital MF but the XF seems to be quite capable to act as a point and shoot if needed :grin:

That is interesting. Any of these rumours made it to a blog somewhere for more details or is it something a little bird whispered in your ear?

 

[docmoore]

No blog.

My dealer who had a NDA returned from a meeting where the new stuff was demo'ed

He immediately sold off two Acute B II 600s in preparation for acquiring the new.

Disclosed nothing other than he loved what he saw ... and he has passed on the
new B1 and B2s prior to this.

I have not sold my Acute B 600s yet as I have found a source for the lead acid batteries at
$35 per battery and I have four cassettes. I do not do that much strobe work but if the new
units are very compelling I will trade out of these.


I believe the announcement is soon enough that waiting might be in order.
