  1. Is there something specific about the Nissin i40 that makes it work with HSS? I was using a Canon Speedlite when I originally found this disparity so I obviously was shooting in manual mode. If there's something I could apply to the Canon that would be great. I would consider getting a Nissin i40 if that specifically works in HSS.
  2. Well, lucky for me I guess. The weird thing is I'm not getting a dark bar. It's more like a soft graduated ND filter. I wasn't aware the output of the flash would make a difference here. I knew it helped refresh time but I didn't know it would impact this. Since this is shooting outside with a low fill flash, it should be consistent. Thanks for your responses.
  3. Hi. I have a question regarding flash sync speed on an X-T1. I'm using a Canon speedlite. I know the sync speed is at 180 but I did some tests at 250 and I didn't see any issues. At 500 I started seeing a darker bottom half with a gradual fading to properly exposed. Has anyone else done this successfully or am I missing something? Consider me an intermediate photographer, comfortable shooting on manual with a manual flash but definitely still learning the nuances. Thanks for any help anyone can give here.
  4. Thanks for the entertainment. Not for nothing, but fstop's suggestion is the most likely to work with my particular husband. He'd also appreciate the i7 vs. i5 argument. When building my computer I got an NVIDIA GTX 670. 2 weeks later his video card died and he needed an NVIDIA GTX 680. Maybe I should do some tasteful almost nudes with an 18mm and the manual 100mm I have and show him the difference. And tell him if I can have the 90mm, the "almost" goes away.......
  5. Oh, man, guys! Sexist much?!??! Anyway........ I don't spend money on clothes, shoes, handbags any of that crap that you people think women spend money on. Photography is, unfortunately, my hobby and as we all know is expensive. How do I convince my HUSBAND, who has zero interest in photography (believe me I've tried), that I need the new 90mm lens because the compression on the 56 just isn't to my liking? This is a man who has an Alienware desktop (for playing games) a PS4 (for playing games) and a 17" Mac laptop just because. While I built my desktop because I saved about $2K that way. But photography is a waste of money. Please, anyone who can come up with a successful argument for that will win a prize (TBD).
