which lens are you using? Check if the lens has a af/mf switch...

What kind of portraits? Indoors? Outdoors? What genre? It seems very popular with the cosplay crowd cos the catchlights compliments some of the sci-fi looks, so if that's all you're taking, why not. Personally, while the look is interesting, I find that it's one of those gimmicky/specialized...

Hmm... Any pictures of the actual damage? Your description is a bit unclear. You say that the only problem is that it can't be mounted, so you are able to trigger it wirelessly and it works? If the hotshoe is damaged beyond repair, maybe one way to salvage it is with one of these mounts. It can...

They really bao ka liao :D Familiar locations aside, am I the only one who thinks these look a bit dated? Who are they targeting with these? 90's karaoke VCD producers? :p Are there really professionals in sg shooting pre-wed videos with camcorders? Must be a pretty small market. The only...

Kino flo power consumption should be quite manageable for even home usage, cos its CFL, not tungsten. 55W-75W per tube, you're looking at 2-300watts per fixture, no issue there. Your $1600 is for one or two lights? Wondering if there's a mistake because one set is already US$1.2K -...

Depends on your own shooting style and what you like to shoot. Those who enjoy UWA might find it too tight as the only lens during travel, some will find it okay. What lens do you have now? if it's a kit zoom, set it to the same FOV then see if you can live with it for a whole week of shooting...

Lol, Polish word for lamp/flash/speedlight? https://store.nikon.pl/lampa-błyskowa-sb-300/FSA04101/details

Aren't they using standard wifi 802.11ac? Shouldn't be an issue with regards to approval if that's the case.

If your Metz 58 is the Nikon version, it won't support wireless TTL with your Olympus, that's quite established. You can test it if you are doubtful. Again, for TTL, your EM1 speaks 'm43 flash language', your Nikon speaks 'Nikon flash language'. The reason Metz sells the same flash in different...

True, with high demand, they don't even need to try...

I wouldn't say TTL is necessarily lazy, sometimes it really is the best tool for the job, as long as one can stomach the cost when you need a few lights ;p I like the peace of mind it offers for fast-paced environments, allows you to focus on other things like composition and guest/subject...

Agree with one eye jack's proposed solution. The low-budget solution is to learn to shoot manual/'dumb' flash. I have a set of 3 YN560IV + YN560TX transmitter. This works on my Sony, Panasonic, Nikon bodies. Very doable once you get the hang of it, in indoor controlled environments... If TTL is...

Interesting, will check it out again when I have the chance

Quality loss - Yes, but it is subjective. Best is for you to do your own test. Convert to both. Then compare the files. Again, with quality, it is subjective. I think the main difference here is that in 4K, you have the crop factor but your footage is in 4K, more room to play with if you want...
