The AC power supply for the Godox/Flashpoint 600 here

I have one of the 600’s and love it.
The battery lasts a long time for what I do.
Higher volume at higher power will of course change your mileage.
Also have the smaller AD 200 and a couple of their speedlights.
Never have had any issues with any of them

Would love to see your setup.

Karen:
The Nikon D-800 and grip is a very good deal.
Low shutter count, looks clean, rubber still intact.
I still use one professionally.
Works better than my 810 for one of my older sigma lenses.
I don’t shoot birds, so don’t know how it will work for that.
Be ready for bigger files.

Look above your name on this post.
You’ll see “Edit Title” for about an hour after posting.
That option goes away after about an hour

Looks like it has sold.
Optic is a newbie in the classified area.

I shoot available light too.
I have about 8 lights that are available to me.
It depends on what, where and why you’re shooting.
In the last 10 years, I think I’ve only used a pop-up flash to control remote speedlights before I totally switched to radio.

Look up my post on page 2 of this thread.
It’s there.

Look at "How Many Megapixels Do You Need to Print a Billboard?" from Fstoppers

(spoiler alert: generally not really any more than for a 4x6 inch print.)

Me too. Loved his work.

Like...maybe....Winston Churchill?
Anyone hear of how the famous photo of Winston Churchill happened?

“ It was one of the most famous portraits ever made. Some say it is the most reproduced image in history. It was on the cover of LIFE magazine when WWII ended. The photo was taken by one of the most famous portrait photographers, Yousef Karsh–known as Karsh of Ottawa–on 30 December, 1941, after Churchill gave a speech to Canadian House of Commons in Ottawa. [On the 60th anniversary of that famous speech, Canada honored Karsh and Churchill with a commemorative stamp featuring above photo.]

Karsh was hired by the Canadian government to do this portrait and knew he would have very little time to make the picture. He began by researching Churchill, taking notes on all of the prime minister’s habits, quirks, attitudes and tendencies. When he finally got Churchill seated in the chair, with lights blazing, Churchill snapped “You have two minutes. And that’s it, two minutes.” The truth was that Churchill was angry that he had not been told he was to be photographed; he lit a fresh cigar and puffed mischievously.

Karsh asked Churchill to remove the cigar in his mouth, but Churchill refused. Karsh walked up to Churchill supposedly to get a light level and casually pulled the signature cigar from the lips of Churchill and walked back toward his camera. As he walked he clicked his camera remote, capturing the ‘determined’ look on Churchill’s face, which was in fact a reflection of his indignantcy. Karsh recounted: “I stepped toward him and without premeditation, but ever so respectfully, I said, ‘Forgive me, Sir’ and plucked the cigar out of his mouth. By the time I got back to my camera, he looked so belligerent he could have devoured me. It was at that instant I took the photograph. The silence was deafening. Then Mr Churchill, smiling benignly, said, ‘You may take another one.’ He walked toward me, shook my hand and said, ‘You can even make a roaring lion stand still to be photographed.'”

The next photo Karsh took, where Churchill was smiling, was less memorable:”

If it works for you, that’s great.
I only use my ColorChecker software for when I need accurate color, like when shooting artwork. It’s not for everyone. For other things, I want pleasing color. Pleasing and accurate may be two different things. Cheers!

True, but the fact that it’s a medium format which doesn’t require as much enlargement as 35mm to get to a similar size print is probably the biggest benefit.
Never owned a Rollei, but I have had several medium format cameras.
I miss shooting with them.

Yep. Been using it for years.
Gene51 posts about it a lot.
It goes beyond just white balance.
It adjusts all the colors to a standard.
Great for shooting art.
Canon, Nikon, Sony colors will have no bias.

Nice looking! Fair price for a great camera.
But my friend now says she wants something with wifi.
Thanks!
Good luck selling.
