never heard of sunpak, where can i buy that? is that a flash?nzmacro wrote:Welcome
High speed flash is what I use. Generally a Sunpak 555 or 552 set for 1/64,000th of a second. that particular setup, stops most things in their tracks
All the best in Norway

Yes, they are flashes. Google on "Sunpak", you'll find them quickly.Sortvind wrote:never heard of sunpak, where can i buy that? is that a flash?

With most flashes, the light pulse gets shorter when you turn the power down. At full power, it's usually around 1/1000th second. 6 stops down, it's at 1/64,000th.
1/200 second is a typical minimum speed for a mechanical shutter, regardless of how short the flash is. The shutter has to come completely open before the flash fires. The trick is to work in light that's dim enough to record no image during the 1/200 second, except for that very brief instant when the flash fires.

I need some enlightenment as well folks.
Is anyone familiar with Sunpak's ringlight DX-12R or various dedicated fixed mount flashes? What are their flash speeds and which would be best for high magnification macro? What accessories would be needed to use them with Canon EOS cameras?
Thanks.
