John;
Interesting. I did similar handholding tests with T8/large and 90/2 and 50/2. I
agree, it was esy to hold/compose/shoot. Results were impressive,
sharpness-wise, but lighting (flowers) seemed a bit flat. So I am really
interested in your results. Can you post by any chance? I have decided to try
covering one hemisphere of the reflector with matte black material, or maybe
grey, to create some shadow if possible.
The T8 is obviously perfect for the application Denton used it for. I'm
wondering if the T28 twin is better for the flower stuff. Maybe we'll see when
Denton gets the time.
