adamdewilde Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #1 · fastest sync speeds? What are the top 5 cameras for sync speeds, and what backs can go on them? What does the 1Ds3 and 1D3 sync at? Thanks, Adam Edited on Nov 15, 2007 at 07:49 PM Nov 12, 2007 at 07:22 AM

PeterBerressem Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #2 · fastest sync speeds? I suppose that the winner is the new Hy6 (Sinar, Leaf..by Franke&Heidecke) at 1/1000. Edited on Nov 15, 2007 at 07:49 PM Nov 12, 2007 at 10:53 AM

adamdewilde Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #3 · fastest sync speeds? Leaf back, Sinar camera... I'll look it up, thanks! Adam Edited on Nov 15, 2007 at 07:49 PM Nov 12, 2007 at 12:57 PM

CTYankee Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #4 · fastest sync speeds? The old 1D can sync up to 1/2000 if you tape the pins. You just need enough light to get a good exposure. Not sure what you needs are for resolution, but for basic stuff its hard to beat the 1D. Edited on Nov 15, 2007 at 07:49 PM Nov 12, 2007 at 03:53 PM

adamdewilde Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #5 · fastest sync speeds? I was hoping that the 1Ds3 would have around 1000th... How about a Mamiya 645 AFD with an older manual leaf shutter lens and a digiback? Or the ZD with a leafshutter lens? Adam Edited on Nov 15, 2007 at 07:49 PM Nov 12, 2007 at 04:07 PM

PShizzy Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #7 · fastest sync speeds? 1/300th with a speedlite. without, pretty much 1/250th or so Edited on Nov 15, 2007 at 07:49 PM Nov 12, 2007 at 04:56 PM

marks. Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #8 · fastest sync speeds? The medim format options are best (Hasselblad's V at 1/500, H at 1/800, the RZ at 1/400 and pretty much veryhtin else at 1/125 or slower), the 1Ds 2 and 3 sync at 1/250, but with Canon flashlights you can use the high speed snc option up to the shortest exposure time. Works well but is prety much impossible to meter seperately. best M Edited on Nov 15, 2007 at 07:49 PM Nov 12, 2007 at 05:14 PM

Adam It would be fairly impossible for the 1Ds3 to sync at anything faster than the 1/300 it's already at. Focal plane shutters on a CMOS sensor simply can't get much faster. Like posted above, the original 1D with a CCD sensor is about as any digital SLR can get... amazing for a camera that went into development almost a decade ago.

adamdewilde Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #10 · fastest sync speeds? Oh well, I may have to hold off on the 1D3 or 1Ds3 (haven't decided what I need)... And go for a good alternative medium format camera. Any ideas, I've looked into the ZD, do we have any other players at the medium format level under $15k (body and sensor) that'll synch at around 1000th Adam Edited on Nov 15, 2007 at 07:49 PM Nov 13, 2007 at 08:39 AM

caleb condit Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #11 · fastest sync speeds? a afdII with manual focus leaf lenses only sync to 1/500. Look up capture integration online. They have good refurb deals all the time. I just saw a h2+30mpxl back go for around 16k on ebay. The prices are coming down a bit on refurbs and used still under warranty as upgrade cycles are shortening. Edited on Nov 15, 2007 at 07:49 PM Nov 14, 2007 at 01:15 AM

Jonathan H Offline Buy and Sell: On p.1 #12 · fastest sync speeds? What about "faking" your sync speed. Not sure what you're aiming to shoot exactly, but in a dim/dark room with fast strobes (Bron, higher end elinchrom, Zeus w/ bitube head, etc), your ISO 100, F16 exposure is entirely determined by your flash duration and nothing else. That arrangement would simulate a flash sync speed as high as 1/3000 or 1/5000 with the right lighting. Edited on Nov 15, 2007 at 07:49 PM Nov 14, 2007 at 07:51 AM

adamdewilde Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #13 · fastest sync speeds? No, I'm actually looking to shoot fast moving subjects in bright daylight, shooting into the sun.. Thanks for the suggestions though, Adam Edited on Nov 15, 2007 at 07:49 PM Nov 14, 2007 at 05:16 PM

ohtoberich Online Image Upload: Off p.1 #14 · fastest sync speeds? Strobist found that the Nikon D70s used an electronic shutter, so it synced at 1/1000 when triggering via the PC sync (or faster, depending on how long it takes the flash itself to discharge). Nov 15, 2007 at 07:49 PM
