A question for you if I were to purchase the flash trigger that I see you are using, which trigger would you suggest as how on earth would you set it up to be in sync with a particular flash head, many thanks Simon Ryan
Forgive me I'm trying to understand the question.... I have the Flashpoint X2 Pro Trigger. Flashpoint is a discount flash company that is owned by Adorama. Flashpoint and it's mother company Godox have flash head systems, but I'm just using an Xplor 600 monolight. It syncs at whatever shutter speed I need it to. If you are using a flash head system that has a power base and cords, it will cost allot more for it to high speed sync to your camera. Flashpoint has a 1200 system in that case. Did I answer it?
@@simonryan6850 So most triggers (not all) on the market give you a setting called high speed sync. High Speed sync allows your shutter speed to exceed the maximum Shutter Speed with the flash. it should say "HSS" or "Sync" Button on the trigger with a flash logo
@@danygarciaflores5260 It's an okay option in my opinion. If you have a high MP body, I wouldn't because it will reveal lots of image issues. If I had a 24 MP body FF then yes. I wouldn't try this with a new crop frame at all.
I'd go 3rd party. The sigma Art 50 1.4 is awesome for 500 or less. you only loose a 1/3rd of a stop of light, where as the cheap readily available 1.8 50mm lenses are quite darker and not good build
Yeah! Really I don't care so much about the size, I just didn't think it would be so different, lol. I actually don't mind the size of most lenses, though because all of my favorites are big and heavy
I agree with you though. This new modern "Sony is the best because it's smaller" gets annoying, if that's what you are implying. Most people who photograph any major brand knows that the size and weight has to be there to some extent- it's physics.
@@DevynFromCFXTV Exactly what I meant and totally on board. It's cool to pop out your glorified point-and-shoot somtimes but others enjoy the comfort and stability that larger cameras give you.
I was also thinking of buying a 40mm stm to keep it smaller in those situations. I have used the A7R II but I was thinking for renting the A7R VI and title it "Canon Shooter tries Sony" lol

It’s knowing what settings to set the trigger to and on

Do you think it is a good idea to buy the EF 50mm 1.2 in 2024?
For how much in USD?

Good to see these types of comparisons. It would be nice to have links to the lenses somewhere.
I got you! I forget to do it at times.
50mm 1.2 EF amzn.to/3x0cOA1
50mm 1.2 RF amzn.to/4aTTC52
You sound like a Sony shooter when talking about the size and yeah it's better to just buy the $200 RF version for most people.
