Nicholas Hellmuth describes his experiences testing medium format digital cameras (Leaf, Phase One, Hasselblad), large format digital cameras, Canon EOS and Nikon digital SLR cameras. After testing Nikon 2. We are considering testing digiscoping system from SWAROVSKI OPTIK. Posted July 2. 6, 2. We evaluate digital photography equipment for over a decade. Now we are ready to test and evaluate a digiscoping system because even a 4. Having experience with all three of these prime Nikkor telephoto lenses will allow us to more meaningfully evaluate a SWAROVSKI OPTIK digiscoping system. We waited since the ones available last year were not for full- frame format. We have a Canon EOS 1. DX Mark II, a Nikon D8. Nikon D5. Zeiss Lens Hood problems, the Zeiss sun shade fails totally. Updated April 3, 2. Posted January 5, 2. I have a high respect for Zeiss lenses. The original Made in Germany Zeiss lenses for my Hasselblad ELX cameras still work today (more than I can say for these models which Hasselblad abandoned; can’t even get batteries for them any more). But Zeiss lenses, most of them at least, are no longer made in Germany (though fortunately not made in China). Kit lenses of Nikon, Made in Thailand six or more years ago, have been cheap junk, though professional Nikkor lenses Made in Japan last for decades. The Zeiss lens shade for my relatively new Zeiss Makro- Planar 2/1. ZF. 2 1. 00mm lens no longer clicks into place on the lens. Nor does it click into place when you try to pack the lens away. Not what I expect for Zeiss. Zeiss Makro- Planar 2/1. ZF. 2, serial # 1. It is impossible to even tape the sun shade onto the lens since this lens has to turn when focusing (since all these Zeiss lenses are manual, not auto- focus). I will be writing Zeiss today to ask for a replacement and filing a complaint in appropriate places because this is what you expect from a lens made cheaply. And not what I expect from a lens shade made in Japan either. I assume it is something on the lens shade, but since I do all my photography in the jungles of Guatemala, it is not easy to return an item for repair, especially since I work as a consultant for wide- format inkjet printer trade shows in Shanghai, Istanbul, Dubai, and Johannesburg, plus was in Taipai last month (the Zeiss lens went to zero of these locations since I use my DSLR cameras only in Guatemala). So I am almost never at my desk, but when I saw how many photographers had problems, this raised alarms. Thousands of people around the world read FLAAR reviews of digital equipment because we are not a commercial PR whatever, and we actually use the equipment we write about. Since we do not ask for kickbacks, our readers realize they are more likely to get the truth from Dr Nicholas’s comments than from a commercial blog. FLAAR Mesoamerica has the honor to invite you to…Posted Febraury 1. Plantas Comestibles Nutritivas para Mejorar Significativamente la Dieta y Salud de los Niños en las Zonas Rurales de Guatemala. This conference is made to present the importance of nutrition among Guatemalan children, especially in rural areas, and the health benefits that this can have in the Mayan society. You can download the formal invitation in the link above. Useful items from Savage Universal Corp. Posted Dec 9, 2. 01. Here we are holding the newly arrived products from SAVAGE which we will evaluate. Front left: Four Mayan- speaking student interns help us write children’s books on the plants and animals of Guatemala. Twelve university students do the illustrations for the children’s books. Dr Nicholas (Hellmuth, in the back), writes the storyboards (based on being in Guatemala over 5. Ten other staff work also work at FLAAR Reports main office including several photographers. We saw Richard Pressman (Chairman) and Richard Memoli (VP Sales) in the booth at Photokina 2. In previous years we have also met Syl Hank (President). Here is the professionally designed booth at Photokina 2. We at FLAAR have preferred the backdrop paper from SAVAGE for over 2. We appreciate the shipment of Widetone Seamless backdrop paper from Savage Universal Corporation. Plus two rolls of vinyl, a background material we have not used before. Some of the things we photograph are from the rivers or lakes, so paper gets stained with water. So we want to try vinyl in these situations. Also we have received to evaluate the Macro. ART Variable Auto- Extension Tube, and the Macro ART Adjustable Dual Arm LED light system (two lights). We will be posting more information on the advantages of this equipment during the coming year (2. In the meantime, you can learn more about the diverse range of products available from Savage from their web site www. We also find it useful to visit their stand at photography trade shows; we recently were at their stand at Photokina 2. Lexar memory card finally fails totally: but kindly replaced by Lexar. Updated January 2. November 2. 8, 2. We have a nice 1. GB, SDxc memory card from Lexar. But the un. LOCK button slides to LOCK position when we insert the card into the camera. We have never had this problem with any other brand of memory card (as you can guess, we test cards of many brands). At Photokina we noticed several other brands which we look forward to evaluating in the future. If Lexar has a better card that they can send us, then we will give it a try. But in the meantime, I am really disappointed at this issue with this Lexar memory card. Lexar did have the courtesy to send us a replacement card, and as soon as I fly to my USA office I will pick it up. Hopefully it will last an adequate time. Dr. Nicholas and two assistants are attending Photokina 2.Updated Oct 1. 2, from original post August 8, 2.SAVAGE Universal had a nice booth filled with all kinds of products we have not noticed there in earlier years. . We are interested in many of their new products. We will do a separate page on SAVAGE products as soon as possible. SWAROVSKI OPTIK offers digiscoping combinations. In a few months they should have new models which we would like to evaluate for opening up potential new markets (more than bird photography). We feel that more photographers should learn the differences between a SWAROVSKI telescope on your camera compared to a normal telephoto lens. The Leica and Sinar booth was hospitable. The new model of the Leica S system is a medium- format camera we could definitely compare with our past years experience with Hasselblad, Leaf, Phase One, and other high resolution cameras. Since we had attended three international trade shows before Photokina and attended two more after Photokina, the overall trip was about 4. But as soon as possible we will update pertinent pages on this digital photography site. During early December we will take 1. WD vehicles to remote jungle- covered mountain areas of Guatemala. This would be a great place to test, evaluate and write reviews on the new products we saw at Photokina. The FLAAR team of PRESS consists of Dr Nicholas, camera and photography editor Erick Flores, and camera and photography assistant editor Senaida Ba. Back in our home office there are about 2. FLAAR teams. Photographing flowers with light- and- shadow style, using sunlight. Posted April 6, 2. Cordia dodecandra, ciricote (pronounced more like siricote) is photogenic because of the potential of light- and- shadow. Here we are far from civilization so there is no electricity for a portable studio. Although many flowers are best photographed with an overcast sky, this shape of flower is best in full sun. But you have to look for the best angle of the flower itself, and relative to light and shadow on the petals. We at FLAAR specialize in photographing native Neotropical flowers of Guatemala. Nicholas Hellmuth has been visiting Guatemala since about age 1. Every several years (over the last 1. there. Dr Nicholas has his own style; Sofia Monzon has her different style.The photos from this week (April 2.NOT examples of fine art photograph style because the tree was so high we could not get the camera to see the front of the flower.We had to use a 2.Nikkor lens; on a Nikon D8. If the limb had been lower, we could have moved it and used a plant clamp to keep the flowers at the precise angle where the lighting is best. But in the meantime, at least the image we captured reveals the inherent natural beauty of this flower of the Mayan Lowland area of El Peten, Guatemala, en route to the Las Guacamayas Biological Station. This is a “Photokina year”Posted Jan. New Year. Updated Jan.
