  1. Try using 1/30, 1/60, 1/125 shutter speeds (assuming this is in the U.S. — which uses the 60hz a.c. electrical frequency, other places in the world use 50hz a.c. frequency rate, so try 1/25, 1/50, 1/100 if this is there). But note, this is just something to try, the oscillator in the lighting controllers may not be keyed into the a.c. line frequency, and may just be low cost versions that run non-standard rates. If that is so, then you will need to experiment to find the timing rate and then use similar types of shutters speeds as I listed above. If that does not work, try shining a low powered flashlight on the scene, preferably one that has a not-led bulb. Or, pop the scene with a flash to over-power the lighting. Keep in mind these last two options can affect the white balance.

  2. One of my VERY best friends is a Leica Guy. I know people say these Leica guys are stuck up, and hung up on gear but not my good friend. He's a photographer. Has taken, dropped, had repaired, shot, got wet, etc EVERY one of his six Leica bodies - including the Monochrome. The Leica store in NYC LOVE him. He walked in last year for a Leica branded polarizer, and walked with their only cop of of a think a 90mm lens that had just come out. It was five figures deep that one~. He also has several 80 megapixel + higher Hassy medium formats with some serious glass. Last Christmas he bought for each of his three sons a new Leica body and a 50mm Summicron (?) lens! Like I said - BIG BUCKS. He just. bought the 60 megapixel S2 MF Leica as well a few months ago - And guess what? He actually ENVIES my fuji 50r and my APC cameras! He truly loves them but I think he's afraid of switching at this point. Long story short, I do believe that FUJI will be out with a medium format Monochrome by next summer or fall. If they do, I and my friend will be first in line!
