The large backdrop and platform are from the Studio Dogs<\/a> project.<\/p>\n The small backdrop\/frame<\/a> is for macro work, using either a ring light<\/a> or studio strobes. It comes with a selection of colored backgrounds on coated vinyl, making for easy clean-up when required. Note the counterweight on the boom arm. Everything is pretty much at eye level as my back has seen better days!<\/p>\n The wireless remote transmitter<\/a> for the strobes is atop the Leica SL2-S which has a wired remote<\/a> fitted. The sturdy B&S head<\/a> ran me all of $20. The equally sturdy vintage Linhof S168 tripod<\/a> can be found in any number of variations on eBay, none of them cheap nowadays.<\/p>\n The wall mounted monitor on the left is for tethered shooting with Lightroom. The rug covers strobe cables to prevent tripping.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a fine work environment. This image of my two Light Lens Lab optics, the 50mm Cooke Speed-Panchro and the 35mm 8-element Leitz clone is a 12 image focus stack made in Helicon Focus and took mere seconds to make. Optically and mechanically outstanding these two are equally at home on the M11 or SL2-S bodies:<\/p>\n A fine workplace. For an index of all Leica-related articles click here.
