I have an XQD card which is no longer readable due to the plastic shell/case breaking. Does anyone by any chance know of a source of original or after market shells? Ive had no response from Sony but all the indications are that they do not sell them.

Having used a Camera Axe to photograph water drops for some time, I would like to upgrade to a Stop Shot Studio. I haven't however been able to find any reviews on line about this particular device. On paper it is exactly what I need - it has the additional capacity I want, plus a much better...

The app you are looking for could be Sylights.

I posted exactly the same issue with one of my D Lite 2 's not firing every time. I eventualy swapped flash tubes with one of my other lights and it was exactly the same. Colda replied to me earlier today that he has had the same problem with several D Lite 2 's and that one of his wont flash...

Thanks Colda - your problem is identical to mine - it has now stopped firing completely at anything below 2.8. I must admit I do use them a fair bit at low powers and so your explanation would seem entirely plausible. I know that it is worth forming the capacitors on Speedlites at full power...

Not sure why I didnt try this to begin with but at least I now know. Both tubes are working perfectly in one monobloc but not the other. Faulty monobloc it is. On the bright side I now have a spare flash tube and modelling bulb for future use.

Thanks Garry - I will try swapping the tube from my other D Lite over as a check, hopefully it will indeed be the flash tube.

Hi - many thanks for your input. I have checked the tube and it seems to be properly seated. Interestingly I spent a bit more time with it after this and it have noticed that it rarely fires on minimum setting but always seems to fire on maximum setting. After pressing the test button where...

I was setting up a head shoot for later today and I noticed that one of my D Elinchrom Lite 2's is only flashing about 1 in 3. This applies whether I am firing remotely or simply using the test button - it applies throughout the power range and I am waiting for the capicitor fully charge...

At this level, new models are about evolution not revolution. For me the D4 more than serves my needs, but if the extra stop, the 1 FPS, or the increased buffer for instance was something that was going to make the difference in getting the money shot then upgrading would make absolute sense...

As John above says - RAM can make a big difference - but that isnt your problem. I would be referring this to Adobe I think however I would be interested to see the result using LR 5. I would uninstall LR4 and try a trial version of LR 5 to see if this is a conflict effecting LR 4 only. Good...

I just noticed this thread which has a few tips particularly relating to the cache size which can be altered in preferences. I think it relates to LR 5 but it make throw up something for you...
