- NEW WEIN DIGITAL SLAVE!
-
You
may not realize it until you attempt multiple lighting with your
flash photography. If you use a manual flash system for additional
lighting, you'll find that your slave will not trigger your studio
flash properly. This is because most digital cameras fire a pre-flash
sample (or two or three even!) before the actual flash. The problem
is this pre-flash occurs very quickly before the actual pop (in
the case of the Canon EOS1D- there is a 20 millisecond advance
pre-flash before the actual flash). This will cause your studio
flash to pop prematurely before it can recycle.

- Stan Weinberg is the owner of Wein Electronics
(http://www.weinproducts.com)
and I had the honor to meet him personally at my studio last
month. Together, we did the final calibration for the S2 flash
and much to our surprise, we discovered that it DID NOT fire
a pre-flash. (Pictured is Stan holding his flash-duration analyzing
meter and an flash in perfect sync - you'll see it is firing
- fired by an S2 with an SB-80DX flash). His new digital slave
has a sliding dip switch that allows you to customize the switch
for each digital camera. This device worked like a charm, and
was totally compatible with my Canon EOS1 as well as my S2's.

- You can probably tell by how big my smile
is meeting Stan Weinberg in person. I greatly respect him as
an environmental philanthropist and found that we share the same
views on global warming. We're also both investors in ski resort
properties and I look forward to doing many cool new projects
with Stan in the near future!
