Press text:

Elinchrom brings ELB 500 TTL compatibility for Sony and Olympus users with Fujifilm to shortly follow.

Canon®, Nikon®, Sony®, Olympus® and Panasonic® users can now have it all. All existing Elinchrom HS Transmitters can be updated to the Transmitter PRO version, which includes TTL functionality for the ELB 500 TTL.

Right after Nikon and Canon, Hi-Sync, HSS and TTL are now available for Sony and Olympus users too.

TTL, HSS or Hi-Sync. All features a photographer may need are now compiled in one single transmitter.

Using an ELB 1200 with Hi-Sync synchronisation or an ELB 500 TTL with HSS, the Transmitter PRO will detect automatically in which mode to switch. Even better, using an ELB 1200 with a Hi-Sync head along with a ELB 500 TTL in the same setup is possible (manual mode). Hi-Sync and HSS just work seamlessly.

Compatibility for all with the ELB 500 TTL.

The ELB 500 TTL is the ideal tool for photographers who find themselves in time sensitive shooting environments where the inherent speed of TTL lets them capture images at the speed of life or for those who simply prefer the convenience of TTL.

The “Manual Lock” functionality allows photographers to get an initial “lock” on their exposure in TTL and then switch to manual mode to further adjust their exposure as they need or to explore different creative effects.

A new version (2.2) for Canon and Nikon also brings more features, stability and support for third part devices such as Rotolight.

These features are built-in right from the start on versions 2.1 for Sony and Olympus.

THE LAST REMAINING LIGHT from Martin Wallgren on Vimeo.

Martin (video on top):

I just released this short Addison’s Disease awareness documentary, shot mostly on GH5 with Leica 12-60mm and 100-400mm in Lofoten islands, Norway.

Some complementary biking footage was shot in Jotunheimen with GX80 and 100-400mm. All footage except the timelapses were shot handheld without any rigs or gimbals. I used a DJI Mavic Pro for the drone shots. We spent 3 days in Lofoten for the primary shoot. I captured all of the biking shots from the trunk of our rental Prius, some of those close-ups I shot at 800mm equiv. in 4K 50p and autofocus on the GH5. 

I think this could be quite interesting for some of your readers, and it will serve a good cause if you share this. https://vimeo.com/276864585

Chris (video on top):I shot this video a few months ago on a trip to Morocco during a collaboration with Visionary Alvaro Sanz. It’s entirely shot on the E-M1 II + various PRO lenses. Hope it inspires some people to go out and just create something!”

Here is the press text via Explora:

The new Nissin MG10 wireless flash has arrived and it packs 165Ws of power output and a guide number of 262′ at ISO 100 and 200mm. Those are big numbers for a handheld, self-powered flash unit. Recycle time is 1.5 seconds. With a zoom coverage of 24-200mm, and a wider 18mm throw available when using the attached diffuser panel, the head can be rotated left and right 180° and can be pointed straight up with 90° of bend. This unit also incorporates an 8W LED modeling light, so you can preview your coverage and shadows. High-speed sync up to 1/8000 of a second is also provided. Powered by 8 AA batteries, the MG10 has a tripod socket at its neck for fixed-position mounting.

The MG10 is also fully compatible with the Nissin Air System (NAS), which allows the flash to work with the Wireless Air 10s TTL Commander and they are available together, as a kit. Featuring a 328′ range, the Commander can control the TTL exposure, power, and zoom of up to 8 groups of other Nissin flashes, over 8 different channels. Compatible with Canon, Fujifilm, Micro Four Thirds, Nikon, and Sony, the Nissin MG10 and Air 10s Commander combine to bring powerful lighting setups to your studio or location shoot.

(FT5) Confirmed: New Olympus super high end camera will be launched in very early 2019!

Share

Finally I can give you good news: Highly trusted sources confirmed Olympus new super high end camera is a real thing and it will be on market by early 2019. They confirmed the new camera will outperform the E-M1II. They also said Olympus is unlikely to tease this camera at Photokina.

We have no specs yet but there are three possibilities:

1) This is the new E-M5III. But I wonder if Olympus would relley make this camera outperform the E-m1II (it would kill the camera sales)

2) This is a new kind of Micro Four Thirds camera. Maybe more video oriented.

3) This is a camera with new sensor format

I hope sources can tell me soon which of the three options it is…
