that got your attention

I was busy burning the enemies of the imperium

Stevens getting a new lens? 70-200 time?

That's actually a great deal! If he knew how to care for the back. Is that a leaf shutter?

here's what i got from B&H, i don't know much about 645

Electronically controlled vertical metal focal-plane shutter AE: 30 to 1/4000 sec. (1/8 step)
Manual: 30 to 1/4000 sec. (1/2 step)
X: (locks shutter speed to 1/125th sec. while allowing for full control of aperture values)
"B": (Bulb, electronically controlled)
"T" (Time, mechanically controlled)
Automatic shutter curtain open mechanism (opens when film magazine, Polaroid holder or digital back is removed, automatically closed when re-attached)
Shutter speed and aperture both can be set in 1/3 or 1/2 steps Electronic dial lock (in X, M, Av and Tv exposure modes)

I see, that's a focal-plane shutter, just like the one in your d700. I'm a bug fan of leaf style shutters, they have a sync speed much higher than focal-plane. Like in the neighborhood of 1/1600

ok but how does that relate to sync speed with a strobe ?

i don't have a D700, i have a mk4

That is the sync speed with a strobe they open in a different way... I thought you had a D700, but now I realize that's Rob.

what? max Sync speed on the D700 is just 1/320... I don't know how to use high speed sync though I don't have a capable flash

I know you can even reach 1/8000 without getting the black band (shutter)

i'm still tempted, just not in a rush and it would have to be a good deal to me, i might go look at it soon to see it in action

your max is probably 250 with a strobe, higher with a flash is trickery

Leaf shutters sync with strobes at any available speed, it has to deal with the way the blades open. But they cant operate at speeds as high as a focal plane shutter

one thing I hate thinking about this purchase is that I might soon find my Tamron 28-75mm lacking in the AF department then I will want the phenomenal 24-70mm another expense

1/320 really Martin with the YN-460 II

Medium format cameras are fun to play with, but really, your current tools are very adequate, as shown by your stellar work.

You don't need amazing AF at that focal length, just manual focus it

as far as I know is that the strobes will open longer and earlier

but I am not familiar with the details hehe that's actually one thing i want to explore when I decide to buy the SB-900

as they say I am a fanboy of the SB-900 but to be honest, I have never seen nor held it haha
