Xavier Plagaro Mussard Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I shooted my hand with an LX100 and an X-Rite Passport color-checker. I used the auto-match of Resolve to color the clips. Three different Led lights, one costed me 300€, one nealy 100€ and one less than 50€. Which is A, B and C?? Nikkor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JazzBox Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I would say Led C is the 50 € one, Led A the 100 €, Led B the 300, but of course it is perfectly possible I was wrong to guess :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xavier Plagaro Mussard Posted May 12, 2016 Author Share Posted May 12, 2016 Because you prefer B and think it should be more expensive?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xavier Plagaro Mussard Posted May 12, 2016 Author Share Posted May 12, 2016 One is an Aputure, a Yongnuo and a Litepanels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinegain Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 In that case I'm going with JazzBox. My initial thoughts too. I just thought that maybe you wanted to make a point about cheaper not heaving to mean less good/perhaps even better than expensive. But I guess it's more about value. As with almost everything... and at some point in history I've made a crappy graphic to illustrate just that, let me just bring that back for a moment: So it shows that... x1. when you spend too little cash on something, it doesn't really do all that much for you x2. when you spend just enough cash on something, that it does everything rather well x3. when you're at the point that you have to have the best of the best at all costs, it will cost you all But the real lesson there is... there's a rapid increase in pay off from paying almost nothing to paying a bit more. Expensive can mean better value. However, at some point, the more you spend you just get marginally better results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xavier Plagaro Mussard Posted May 14, 2016 Author Share Posted May 14, 2016 Here I am! I wanted to make two points. 1) On blind tests little people partecipate and everyone is very cautious about the words they use. 2) Thank Science/God technology advances! A: Is the Aputure Led Ring light, which declares 95CRI. 42€ B: Is a Yongnuo 300. 90€ C: Is an old Litepanels Micro that I payed a lot of money for, but a long time ago. I have a pair of Yongnuo that I would like to change for Aputures 95CRI. But the improvement is not that day/night!!! ;-DD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The C looks a little greenish on my monitor, so I thought it would be the cheaper. The A and the B are both good but the B to my eyes is slightly better on skintones. Probably the technology of A and B is improved from the expensive but old Lite Panel. I'm happy to notice that, because I also have a couple of Youngnuo 600 Yes, Aputure are probably a little better in terms of construction, but they are very close in color rendition. Lots of people hate cheap LED panel, but I really love the simplicity of use for independent/ low budget shooting and the great look you can achieve.
