I have been taking pictures of children in my studio (monolights). With my RZII, there is a compendium stage which I think was designed for outdoor photography not indoor. But, should it be used indoors?

My other question is that there is a little measuring stick that shows you how far out to draw the bellows. It has a white strip at the bottom. Do you put that at the lens front (threads) or at the back? I am not sure.

I can't think of a reason not to use it indoors.

Which one? The G2 or the G3? Might help the others with sorting out the assembly.

Lens shades are used wherever non - subject light could impinge upon the film. I use them in the studio when there are lights that might aim towards the camera, and I want no light bouncing around the innards of the lens and camera to lower my contrast. I use them outdoors when the sun could do the same. I use a shade just to keep white walls outside of the image from potentially creating flare in my camera. It's cheep insurance.

I allways have mounted shades on all my lenses, no matter of shooting condition (indoor, outdoor, bright light, darkness, light direction, etc...). I have dedicated shade for each of my lenses, permanently attached on each lens.

Lucky you Jeffrey, I use on my Mamiya RB lenses Heliopan's rubber lens shade, and would like to have compendium. It really does look cool, beside its funcionality :smile:
