Choose Hensel Not Scrap

Often photographers compromise on quality to save a few dollars. This is usually a false economy. If the gear breaks down after a few months, and you have to continually replace it, are you really saving any money?  Hensel can provide you with dependable flash technology which will stay by your side for decades, sturdy pro equipment that won’t let you down even after years of use in the most challenging locations.

With Hensel, you are choosing a solid light partner for any situation – so you can concentrate on creating stunning images without having to worry about your equipment!

Hensel should be known for more than just the fact that it is “Made in Germany." Since 1963, Hensel has been developing and producing high-quality flash and lighting technology, both for photographers and the industrial sector. They are not just a manufacturer, but a service provider as well, and Hensel is committed to the people who purchase their products. Here is a link to the Hensel website: http://hensel.eu/en/

X-E2 bundles & the Metz 26 AF-1 Flash (finally!)

All of the above for only $1,099 - only 1x left!

Having a hard time finding a fabulous gift for that special someone? How about a huge bundle of Fujifilm goodness! We only have two (2) of these great bundles left that include the following…

- Fujifilm X-E2 Body (black)
- Fujinon XC 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OIS Kit Zoom
- Fujinon XC 50-230mm f/4.5-6.7 OIS Tele Zoom
- Fujifilm EF-20 Flash Unit
- Hand Grip for X-E1/X-E2
- Half Leather Case and Leather Strap for X-E1/X-E2 (brown)
- Extra NP-W126 Battery Pack

All these items together normally sell for over $2,000 but each of these two remaining special bundles can be had for only $979! Imagine giving someone this whole, complete kit of Fujifilm gear for Christmas! Or, treat yourself and get into a lightweight, high quality Fujifilm system for under $1,000. This is less than $200 more than just the X-E2 body is selling for now after rebate!

---

Finally, the Metz flashes have arrived! A great Christmas gift too and in stock at $174.95

After nearly a year-long wait, we have finally received a shipment of the new, pocket-sized Metz 26 AF-1 flash units for Fujifilm X-series cameras! I've briefly tested one out on my X-E2 (the X-E1 in the above photo was just being a "model") and its exposures seem accurate. For its size, it seems quite powerful too, with a guide-number of 26 (meters).

It comes with a black fabric, drawstring pouch for storage and includes a clip-on telephoto extender. There is a flip up wide-angle panel and the flash pivots down for close or macro shots, sits in its standard height (as seen in the photo) for normal shots and then pivots up vertically for an angled ceiling bounce. It has a TTL mode, a Slave mode (not tested yet) and a small LED video light with two brightness settings, sufficient to add a bit of a fill or to create a catch-light in the eyes if shooting a video. It even comes with a USB port, presumably to allow for future firmware upgrades when new cameras are released.

It uses two AAA batteries and with alkaline cells, its recycle time is quite snappy. I will be testing it with some NiMH Eneloops as well to see how much faster its recycling may be. Here are two more views, first a side view showing how slim it is…

… and here it is from the back. A power button, then TTL, SLAVE and LED mode buttons: the ultimate in simplicity!

NEW! Fujifilm X30 - Pre-order Special!

Fujifilm has announced a successor to the X20 called, unsurprisingly, the X30. While the lens (stabilized 28-112mm f/2-2.8) and sensor (12MP X-Trans CMOS II) remain unchanged (at least on paper), it might be that once I get a chance to test a production camera, they could show some improvements? In any case, there are indeed many other very substantial enhancements in Fujifilm's latest flagship point & shoot. Let's start with the viewfinder…

LENSBABY! Big Savings now to May 15th!

NOTE! It is almost May 15th, so don't delay if you want to take advantage of this promotion!

Now until May 15, 2014 we have a new promotion running where you SAVE $115 on the purchase of the Lensbaby Composer Pro with Edge 80 Optic. If you’d like the whole Pro Effects Kit including the Composer Pro with the Edge 80 Optic, the Sweet 35 Optic, and macro converters now is the time to buy and SAVE $115! Or if you are looking to add the Edge 80 Optic to your Lensbaby system you can now SAVE $57.

Inject creativity and uniqueness into your portfolio with the Pro Effects Kit. This versatile kit provides a selective focus system solution for whatever type of photography you're shooting. From portraits and weddings to landscape and commercial photography - this kit is the top choice. By incorporating the Lensbaby creative effects lenses and optics, you can add a new dimension to your shots in-camera. Includes the Lensbaby Composer Pro with Sweet 35 Optic, the Edge 80 Optic, Macro Converters, Extra Large Lens Cleaning Cloth and the Lensbaby System Bag. 

The Lensbaby Composer Pro with Edge 80 is an all-in-one tilt photography solution for Canon and  Nikon DSLR shooters. This 80mm f/2.8 lens is compact, lightweight and affordable. Tilting the lens in any direction results in a slice of focus through your image, similar to the tilt effect in a tilt-shift lens. Incredibly versatile, choosing not to tilt the lens will make spectacular ‘straight’ photos - just as you’d get shooting with a ‘normal’ 80mm lens.

The Edge 80 Optic is a 80mm, flat field of focus optic with a 12-blade adjustable aperture and is compatible with all Lensbaby lens bodies*. When tilted, the Edge 80 delivers a slice of tack sharp focus through the image, bordered by soft blur. When pointed straight ahead, the Edge 80 can be used just like a high-quality straight lens.  Don't already own a Lensbaby lens body? You'll need one to put your Edge 80 into - we recommend the Composer Pro with Double Glass or the Composer Pro with Sweet 35.

*Macro Converters are required to use Edge 80 with Composer with Tilt Transformer (for mirrorless cameras).

Call for more details and availability!

Phase One - Capture One Pro 7 sale!

If you haven’t tried a current version of Capture One, you owe it to yourself to give it a whirl. A trial version can be downloaded here: Capture One Pro 7 Trial. Until the end of March, we have a sale on in-stock copies for a mere $225… regular price is $299.

Capture One has evolved substantially over the last few years and not only does the present version offer the same excellent workflow, colour fidelity and amazing skin-tones that Capture One has always been known for, but there are now image database tools with image management similar to Adobe Lightroom, an incredibly well implemented set of perspective correction tools for architectural work, a superb lens correction module and much more.

In addition, if you are a Fujifilm X-system shooter, using the unique, moiré resistant but “hard-to-demosaic” X-Trans sensor, then Capture One deserves a good, long look too. While Adobe raw conversions from X-Trans sensors have come a long way in the last year, you will still be able to extract far more fine detail with many other raw converters like Capture One Pro, especially in shadow areas.

While there are other programs that offer excellent X-Trans raw conversions, like Iridient Developer and PhotoNinja, neither of these offers a full package that can completely replace Adobe Lightroom like Capture One is able to. In addition, those other programs do not offer anywhere near the same breadth of versatility that Capture One offers, like the aforementioned perspective and lens correction tools, the ability to act as an image database programs etc. In addition, the colour reproduction you get from Capture One is top notch, whether you shoot with a digital back, a digital SLR or a Fujifilm camera.

Micro-4/3 Sale on bodies and lenses...

Demo Sale! Epson Stylus Photo R3000...

It's time to rotate out our demo Epson Style Photo R3000 printer. Our regular price is $849, but the demo printer can be had on sale for only $700 SOLD! (one demo only at that price)

The R3000 is a pigment-based inkjet with 8 inks (9 if you count both matte and glossy black) that will give archival prints on the appropriate paper. Estimated print longevity ranges from around 60 years with RC-based gloss or semi-gloss papers, to well over 100 years for acid-free, archival, cotton based fine-art stock. With an exceptionally small, 2 pico-litre droplet size, prints are extremely sharp and detailed with no visible dithering. The addition of two lighter gray inks (Epson calls them "Light Black" and "Light Light Black") means that black & white images also look stunning with no visible dot pattern. Ink cartridges are larger than average for a desktop printer too, being about 2.5 times the capacity of the R2880 for example, so this reduces cartridge swaps and saves on ink cost as well.

Having pigment inks means that the R3000 is compatible a huge variety of third-party papers and the vast majority of manufacturers have ICC profiles ready-made for use with the Epson R3000. We sell a large variety of papers from Hahnemühle, Ilford, Moab, Crane (Museo), Harman, Pictorico and of course Epson, so the versatility of a pigment-based printer like the R3000 is tremendous.

In addition, there is also a $200 mail-in rebate available from Epson here: R3000 Rebate PDF. After the rebate, that effectively makes it $500, which is one heck of a bargain for a top-end, archival, pigment-based 13x19 printer!
