If I was a bit more free I’d post the technical review of the Sony HVL-F58AM “Cobra” flash<\/b> that I just bought… but for now, here’s a video featuring Sony’s superbly-designed flagship flash with its unique Quick Shift Bounce<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Inspired by those TV “celebrity” sessions we have a transcript of the video!<\/p>\n

Me<\/b>: This is full power, 17mm.<\/p>\n

Er… yeah, full power.<\/p>\n

We’re gonna test how long it takes to recharge full power.<\/p>\n

We wait for the light to come on… okay… waiting… waiting… still charging.<\/p>\n

(0:25s, flash is fired)<\/p>\n

Waiting… waiting… still charging.<\/p>\n

(0:34s, ready light comes on 9 seconds later)<\/p>\n

Okay now we try the F58.<\/p>\n

*removed batteries from F56 to put in F58*<\/p>\n

Muazam<\/b>: Hohoho dang. racun racun!<\/p>\n

Me<\/b>: Okay. Full power.<\/p>\n

Wait ah… okay now we try ah. But don’t look.<\/p>\n

Silencers<\/b>: Hahaha Albert looking still!<\/p>\n

(1:08s, flash is fired.)
\n(1:13s, flash is fired 5 seconds later.)
\n(1:16s, flash is fired 3 seconds later at a lower power.)<\/p>\n

Muazam<\/b>: Fuh lagi cepat!<\/p>\n

(1:18s, flash is fired 2 seconds later at a lower power.)<\/p>\n

Silencers<\/a>: Yeah yeah thanks to the shiny table la.<\/p>\n

Muazam<\/b>: Not full charge but it still can…<\/p>\n

Ah you can still…<\/p>\n

Full charge.<\/p>\n

Okay okay let’s wait for the…<\/p>\n

Ah see, it’s quite fast.<\/p>\n

(Some bits I can’t make out.)<\/p>\n

vandechrome<\/b>: Okay okay or not.<\/p>\n

Muazam<\/b>: After youtube buy 58.<\/p>\n

vandechrome<\/b>: your opinion?<\/p>\n

Alex<\/b>: Very fast.<\/p>\n

Very good.<\/p>\n

Buy 58.<\/p>\n

(End transcription.)<\/b><\/p>\n

On a side note, Ewin<\/a> recently Guessed That Lens correctly! Yes, it came from a Sony 55-200mm F4-5.6 DT. This is very much a Tamron 55-200mm F4-5.6 rebadge (the Sigma one doesn’t focus as close). This lens is pretty sharp, compact, and focuses to 95cm close! That’s closer than even the Minolta 70-210mm F4 “beercan” which does 110cm and the Minolta\/Sony 70-200mm F2.8G SSM which does 120cm.<\/p>\n

Ewin also has the 55-200mm. Go check out his blog<\/a>, he has quite a few vibrant shots!<\/p>\n


\nThese, however, are from the Minolta 70-210mm F4 beercan. There is a difference in rendition of out-of-focus areas, and the greens get a lot more vivid.<\/p>\n


\nThere is a ‘fluffiness’ that is apparent here.<\/p>\n


\nThanks to Khai for letting me try his Sony 55-200mm F4-5.6 DT!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
