If I want to shoot at F2.8 outdoors on a cloudy day & use fill flash using the Mamiya[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=109372\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
I always say 125 synch (having owned and hated bot kodak SLRn and Mam AFD) is flawed and also big up the 25 ISO on my Eyelike22 and love the synch on my H1
WHile high ISO is indeed great no-one slags the back makers as there new backs come out with lower ISOs lost - surely software could desensitize backs easily
but you probably aint going to re-kit so..
-Do you know about the RZ adapter plate so you can use a mamiya RZ which has decent flash synch
-what about a reflector
-16bit files you can lift the darks better - dont be scared of doing this - remember the difference in quality between actual reproduction and pixel peepiing
-hot lights - I dont know but there is ARRI and other HMI solutions
- you could in reasonably static situations BLF (bracket like f) and nick a sky off a dark image and blend it into your light one
At 2.8 it can be hard to get flashes that are suitably un powerful say elinchrom rangers dont go low enough IMO
