Interesting setup, DrHook, although I’m not sure this would accomplish what I’m trying to do. I want black/unlit background in my photos. I suppose it’s more about the positioning of the lights than anything else.
Pete, easy enough to do. Find an empty cardboard box and paint the inside of it black, and put a plinth in there to put your objects on and paint that black too. Or line it with black foam board, that’s very effective too.
:cry: I can’t believe you can say this about my little S120. My life is ruined……
Seriously though, there is nothing existent on the market for this camera - you have to make anything you want, sigh. And as I don’t have much more than a hacksaw and a drill, I had to be inventive, especially as I wanted to keep things ‘pocketable’ As it happens, I use plastic fishing squids for all sort of small diffusers, and I have quite a collection of bastardised cutlery now, in a box. I’m done for if the head chef ever takes a stock count
I know I’m in good company though, as if you look through a macro forum you’ll see similar contraptions made out of all sorts for more expensive cameras. And when it comes to diffusers, the amount and breadth of imagination knows no bounds! Plus, you get exactly what you need.
You cant photoshop CRI on a non CRI light source
White balance cant fix it, a CRI light wih more red illuminates only red parts, more amber, cyan also come in play with high CRI light source the same way
This is absolutely not an area that I know anything but Great Thread!!
Maukka gave a good idea on thos “Viltrox”, I know exactly who would need just these :+1:
Hi. I have the same question. I want a good high cri flashlight but in a small compact edc form. What I have found so far is an upcoming flashlight which according to specs is not only high cri, compact and and reasonably priced but also high lumins considering it’s 90+ cut.
WUBEN T046R 1300lumims
It has 3 XPG3 less which I was concerned about but after some research I found out that recently they have indeed released a high cri version of this led. Though it has slightly greener tint rather then the radish tint of the HIGH IS 219B. Would anyone suggest a similar flashlight to this one? Or is this a good option in it opinions.
If someone can suggest other similar high CRI COMPACT FLASHLIGHTS I WOULD appreciate it really.
If you want you could contact kiriba-ru on this forum and he can send you an assembly for the S2+ that uses 3×219C 4000K leds on KD board with KD optics. The whole assembly including the pill is a drop-in module - all you need is a pair of needlenose pliers or heavy duty tweezers to change the optics out. Cheaper than a new light.
