\nSomething I just got, the Octopus DM-6, from Studio Zaloon, lets me do this pointless exercise in removing TTL.<\/p>\n


\nOr, the off-camera wired flash for the A900.<\/p>\n

I am just waiting for the HVL-F20AM.<\/p>\n


\nNow, for a way to make this into a proper bracket… (I’ve always been able to use this setup before the Octopus DM-6.)<\/p>\n


\nThe Octopus DM-6 in action, attached to my Sony HVL-F58AM.<\/p>\n


\nTop left: Octopus DM-6 bottom, ISO hotshoe
\nTop right: Seagull SC-5 top, ISO hotshoe
\nBottom left: Octopus DM-6 top, iISO hotshoe
\nBottom right: Seagull SC-5 bottom, iISO hotshoe<\/p>\n

Note that both the Octopus DM-6 and Seagull SC-5 have PC Sync ports; as such, you can use the Seagull SC-5 on an Alpha, to trigger other flashes via PC Sync, and you can use the Octopus DM-6 on an Alpha flash, to be triggered via PC Sync.<\/p>\n


\nA rare find, only at Studio Zaloon, Pudu Plaza; who’d have seen this in person? The Sony FA-HS1AM hotshoe adapter. Same thing as the Seagull SC-5, but with a battery, and an internal voltage protection circuit, for old flashes that were over 6 volts and tended to fry unsuspecting camera hotshoes!<\/p>\n

This gadget makes it safe.<\/p>\n


\nAlso found there, an iISO flash extender! AMAZING! The right side also comes with a tripod mount and ISO hotshoe foot so you can put it on your classic Type A umbrella clamps.<\/p>\n


\nI found this trio of Stofen imitation caps at DigitalsMania, Pudu Plaza. The white one is slightly warming; the orange one does 3600K; the green one is 4500K M9 (a bit more green, and not terribly consistent.)<\/p>\n

I’d say the orange one is more commonly used in ballrooms, though I prefer the look of 2500-3200K myself. 3600K I’d guess is a half CTO (Color Temperature Orange). The full CTO flash gels I have are rated 3200K.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
