#331291 When is the Nauticam NA-GH3 coming?

Posted by Ryan on 13 May 2013 - 03:56 AM

The current estimated ship date is May 27 from Nauticam, so a few day s later form individual dealers and distributors.  There is a long preorder queue, so it will be some time after that before new orders are filled.

 

I had the pleasure of shooting some video last week with the final prototype.

 

 

Even more fun was macro video with Olympus 60mm!

There are a few photos from the port testing here:

Like all other super wide rectilinear lenses in this focal length range, corner sharpness will be a challenge if used wide open.  This can be managed by stopping down, and working in the 11-12mm range instead of full wide.




#325123 Inon Z240 - do you use external auto?

Posted by Ryan on 25 January 2013 - 01:28 PM

External Auto works relatively well, but requires lots of subject reflectance.  Not as accurate as S-TTL, but could be more consistent than a someone who isn't familiar with manual strobe exposure.  

It works best if the strobes are are pointed directly at your subject, so backscatter may be an issue.


#322687 Tokina 10-17 on FX

Posted by Ryan on 14 December 2012 - 11:12 AM

I've wondered about the utility of this lens on FX a lot, set at 14-17mm.  I've seen imatest results that suggest that the resolution of 10-17 is just above the D800, so while it is nearly resolution limiting, it isn't yet.  Worth a test, though...

Draw your own conclusions, but I wouldn't run out and buy a new lens.


#315867 YS-D1 or Inon 240?

We sell both, and I can count on one hand the number of Inon warranty replacements we've issued over the past year.
