LPA Design has created a video demonstration of the Nikon version of the PocketWizard FlexTT5 in action. The wireless radio remote is an early prototype, but is capable of both Nikon iTTL and Auto FP High Speed Sync operation. Text accompanying the video stresses that it will be “months before there is a production version available” and that prior to the official release of the FlexTT5 transceiver and companion MiniTT1 transmitter for Nikon there will be a public beta program.

11 March, 2010 - Composing With Color, Part II
Today’s new tutorial, by our regular contributor Alain Briot, is titled Composing With Color, Part II.
“Video Journal 19, one of the best. Interesting and relevant topics, knowledgeable engaging guests, and a host that gently guides the conversation through terrain I want to explore. And more, it’s beautifully shot in a clean, no tricks style that keeps the conversation in focus. Well done all! This one is worth twice the price”.

7 March - The Dynamic Range Debate
Yesterday’s review here by Mark Dubovoy titled Hasselblad H3D 50 II Multishot Versus Phase One P65+ / 645AF generated some considerable discussion on this site’s forum, particularly with regard to the issue of dynamic range. Though he found the Hasselblad and the Phase backs to be very similar in dynamic range, he also wrote “The dynamic range of a typical high-end professional 35 mm DSLR is around 7 F/stops. Medium Format cameras are closer to 13 F/stops of dynamic range,” and the cat was among the pidgeons.
The issue seems to be contentious because different people use different definitions of dynamic range. As one person put it, “It’s like comparing apples with cassaba melons.”
I have therefore just added an Editor’s Note to Mark’s review with my observation on the subject. Hopefully it will clarify a debate that has been murky for some time.

6 March, 2010 - Hasselblad H3D 50 II Multishot Versus Phase One P65+ / 645AF
The air is thin at the top. Whether it’s Ferrari vs Lamborghini, or, of interest to photographers – Hasselblad vs Phase One – the two remaining leaders of the medium format world.
Every now and then it’s fun to pitch top contenders against each other, and when they are both kings of their respective hills, all the more so.
Today we have an exclusive review by our regular contributor Mark Dubovoy titled Hasselblad H3D 50 II Multishot Versus Phase One P65+ / 645AF.
What makes this particularly interesting is that the 50II back from Hasselblad is a multi-shot, in theory a technology able to produce higher image quality than that from a Bayer array, as used in the Phase One P65+. But the Phase is a higher resolution back, so how will it all work out?
I’ll bet you’ll be surprised.
