LIGHTING Text by Peter Kolonia HOTFlashes Recent trade shows, so packed with eye-popping DSLRs and lenses, have also offered a wide range of potentially useful lighting wares— maybe even something for your kit. Multi-tasker Quantum Trio Qflash $875, street; www.qtm.com This shoe-mount alternative to Quantum’s bracket-mount Qflash T5D is the company’s first flash head with built-in TTL compatibility (for Nikon or Canon) and a built-in transceiver for its wireless FreeXwire radio slave system. That means no more adapters required for TTL lighting control and output for multiple remote Qflashes that can be set from the shoe-mount master unit. The only thing not built in? A battery compartment. As with all Qflashes, you still need a Turbo battery to power it (from $410, street). pLight g tyke y Sunpak RD2000 $99, street; www.tocad.com Want more TTL-controlled flash than your camera’s pop-up provides, but don’t want to lug around a shoe-mounter nearly as large as the camera itself? At 7 ounces and 1.7 inches tall, Sunpak’s RD2000 is compact and light, but versatile, too. It’s E-TTL II (Canon) and i-TTL (Nikon) compatible, articulated for ADAPTER-FREE: More independent flash makers offer builtin TTL control (Sunpak, left), wireless triggering (Elinchrom, center), or both wireless and TTL options (Metz macro ring, right). swiveling and bouncing, good for 200 fullpower pops from two AA cells, and, with a GN of 65 (ISO 100, in feet), is more than twice as bright as a typical built-in flash. pSky’s y the limit Elinchrom BXri Series Monolights $525 and $625, street; www.elichrom.com When Elinchrom introduced its superb Skyport flash triggering system, we knew it was only a matter of time before Skyport receivers would be built into Elinchrom heads. Meet the BXri series of 250-watt-second and 500-watt-second monolights. Yes, they have built-in Skyport receivers, but even better, they also include shoe-mount transmitters—creating photography’s first out-of-the-box, completely wireless studio solution. Third-party lights with lots of built-in control Allowing full control of monolight output from the camera, the BXri lights are also very competitively priced. pÜber-compatible p Metz Mecablitz 15 MS-1 Wireless Macro Slave Flash $400, street; www.metz.de/en/ photo-electronics.html Leave it to Metz, the company that specializes in cross-platform flash compatibility (via SCA modules), to offer the world’s first macro ring flash with builtin wireless TTL slave functionality for all popular DSLR systems, including Canon, Nikon/Fuji, Olympus/Panasonic, Pentax/ Samsung, and Sony. Now, this single flash can function as a TTL-controlled main light for most typical close-up subjects for almost any camera you own—no wires or individual TTL adapters required. Learn, baby, learn Nikon School Hands-on Guide to Creative Lighting DVD $40, estimated street; www.nikonusa.com Former Pop Photo columnist Bob Krist and photographer Joe McNally join forces for this lighting tutorial for Nikon shooters. It rings and toots every bell and whistle in Nikon’s sophisticated Creative Lighting System (CLS). In the first two sections, Krist explains the basics of lighting and the specifics of setting up a wireless network of Speedlights. In the third, McNally overcomes four location-lighting challenges, from simple to highly complex. The commentary is breezy and informative, the images often inspirational, and production values are first-rate from the opening credits to the end. 34 WWW.POPPHOTO.COM POP PHOTO FEBRUARY 2009
