    Using flashes

    E-TTL should compensate for the difference in flash power to achieve the ratio you are looking for. But it may not be that consistent if your subject is moving or you're changing angles frequently.

    High speed syncing with Strobes

    Recently acquired the Quadra HS and SkyPort HS, out of the box it does sync all the way up to 1/8000th but prepared to loose like 3-4 stops and some banding at the extreme shutter speed ranges. The ODS feature does help "tune" the sync timings to get more power and even out the banding...

    Light L16

    It's more along the lines of what Lytro is doing as well, basically a light-field camera. It gives the ability to shift focus in post-production, create stereoscopic 3D images, simulate shallower depth of field etc. I think the main advantage of this design is that they can use multiple focal...

    Seeking advice on the round circles in the middle of the photos

    I think so, this appears to related to Newton's rings type of interference pattern. I would think front element design plays a part if it is very close to the filter glass and very slightly spherical.

    Photo-Sharing for G1X Mk II & G7X (Not for Discussion)

    With the built-in star trail function set for 30mins. The camera shifted slightly while some hikers were passing by, which accounts for the broken star trail.

    NIKON AF-S NIKKOR 300mm f/4E PF ED VR - Official Thread

    E-Lens like the PC-E tilt-shifts have no mechanical lever to actuate the aperture I believe

    It's quite standard practice/policy for manufacturers not to support 3rd party equipment

    OFFICIAL: CANON EOS 7D Mark II - User Thread

    Did a short test on the 7DII anti-flicker mode, under the most nasty fluorescent lighting I could find. Think the sample of 9 photos below taken at high burst mode speaks for itself. Probably a life-saver for those shooting indoor sports under less than optimal lighting. Photos taken at...
