Hi ya fellas, this week has more or less been like an early xmas :-)

Today fedex nocked on my door ! :-) and i got my self a set of pocketwizards plus ! Certainly good timing since its my birthday today!

And earlier this week, fedex brought me a spanking new 85mm/1,4 D Nikkor !!:

The lens is deadly sharp wide open, its a great performer. (Pictures soon to come)

As for the pw set, well im in heaven!! now i just connect a pw to my strobes and put one the camera, and since i got a radio module in my lightmeter i can meter wireless aswell!!

No more cables, nor pc sync caps getting lost !!

I'll post some images a little later on, now im off eating some cheese cake!

Happy birthday Paul! Congrats on your new toys!

Happy Birthday - that 85 1.4 sounds very nice.

Thanx guys!

Christian:The pws works great! its really nice to be able not to have cables to your meter, and switching back and to the camera.

Iv been shooting wireless indoors before i got my pws, using a prolinca ir trigger on my camera, also connected the ir trigger (had in haning around my neck) to my lightmeter thru a pc calbe, and thus i could meter wireless aswell. But it had to switch back and forth between the camera and the meter, and had alot of stuff haning around the neck lol. Also ir trigger wont work in bright light, so outdoors didnt work. Plus a ir trigger isnt as reliable as radio triggering.

hopefully i get to test the new lens a little more today, im off work. also got a black muslin this week, so i might get to try that one out aswell.

Thanx again m8's.
