GODOX FV150 High-Speed Sync Flash and Continuous LED Light
When it comes to lights, we used to have a pretty good distinction. Godox did Strobes, and Aputure did LEDs. Now Godox is expanding into the LED market with a Bowens type light, and it looks like it is aimed to directly compete with Aputure’s line of 120D and 300D.
The new FV150 is a 150W Continuous LED light, but more uniquely, it has a built-in LED-flash function. It features daylight-balanced 5600K, CRI 95+ TLCI96+, which provides natural, pristine color for broadcast video, photography, television production, and studio filmmaking. As an LED Light, the FV150 offers high brightness which can be precisely adjusted from 0% to 100%. With 8 FX special effects modes, it can simulate various shooting scenes and achieve creative shooting.
Like a Flash, FV150 supports 1/8000S high-Speed Sync function and has built-in Godox 2.4G wireless X system. Over 10 continuous flashes per second and 8 continuous flashes per second in high-speed sync mode in 1/2 power output. the light brightness of the flash is four times of the LED light's, which increases the freezing ability of instantaneous action.

7artisans 75mm F1.25 Full Frame Manual Fixed Lens for Leica
This short-telephoto 75mm focal length lens offers a slightly compressed image quality that is well-suited for portraiture and close-up images, especially when used in conjunction with the shallow depth of field afforded by the bright maximum aperture.
Extremely fast f/1.25 maximum aperture affords notable control over depth of field for selective focus shooting, and also benefits handheld shooting in difficult lighting conditions. The Sonnar optical design yields a high degree of sharpness and well-controlled flare. Individual elements feature a multi-layer coating to suppress flare and ghosting for greater contrast and color fidelity when working in strong lighting conditions.
