  1. Hi everyone, Noob question. I searched the forum, but couldn't find an answer, so apologies if it's been discussed already. I will light a person working at their desk from above, with an Aputure 120d II + Light Dome II over their head. I thus need a good stand + boom solution. I am based in Europe. What brand/solutions do you recommend? - Would this be enough: https://vocas.nl/manfrotto-combi-boom-stand-black-with-sandbag-420b.html ? - Or should I consider a separate stand like this one https://vocas.nl/manfrotto-master-light-stand-1004bac.html + a boom https://www.fotoflits.com/nl/manfrotto-light-boom-024b.html I'm open to any other recommendations or advice. Thanks! Francesco.
  2. Dear Martin & Volker, thank you very much for your replies. I do own the lense. I will investigate further.
  3. Thank you so much Martin for this long reply. I am bit perplexed about the macro range issue your raise however. The manual does not seem to bring this up (see picture attached), in it seems to explicitely specify that you can bring the zooming ring to a telephoto position in order to obtain different magnification ratios. Maybe you are referring to the Zoom range limit knob (which limits the zoom to 40mm, to prevent going to far when handholding?). Or maybe I am missing something? Looking forward to your reply! Best, Francesco.
  4. Hi everyone, Apologies in advance if this topic has been discussed to death, but I couldn't find a clear answer in my searches on the forum. I recently acquired a serviced Beaulieu ZM4, which comes with the Schneider Kreuznach Optivaron f1.4/6-70. There seems to be a consensus however that the f1.8/6-66 (which came with the ZM2 if I'm not mistaken) is the better lens. My question is thus: what are these differences precisely (softness or the edges, softness at some focal lengths, chromatic aberration, etc.), that make the 6-66 superior? And does it make a substantial difference in practice? I'm planning to use the camera for handheld and tripod work, primarily with low-grain ISO film (50 or 100), scanned at 2K (and maybe at 4K in the future). Thank you very much! Best, Francesco.
  5. Hello, I'm looking to purchase an Eclair ACL 200ft magazine complete kit, if anyone knows a seller... Thanks! Francesco.
