hi, I purchased the mieke light and returned it to buy the godox, I trust you but I would like to know what the difference is and why you recommend the godox now? also, are there any alternatives to the owl bracket?

@@alarcon9793 The godox mf12 is a newer and stronger flash. The modelling light is also much stronger which helps with focus peaking and manual focusing. I've heard good things about the PhotoMed R2 Dual Point Flash Bracket.

@@TwoDentists I just bought the Godox MF12, are you using it 1/4 or 1/2?

@@ThePaocast I mainly use it on 1/4 without any diffusers and 1/4 with diffusers

Thank you for watching Sif!

Thank you for trusting us and watching!

Thank you for watching!

Thank you bro, we’ve learnt a lot from you x

@@TwoDentists we learn from eachother 🙏🏼❤

Hi Sean! I haven't tried that yet so I'm not sure. If you have everything just get the adpayer from Amazon and give it a try. If it doesn't work you can return the adapter 👌🏽

Thank you! 🙌🏽

That would be your best option! Check out our first vid in the series for the equipment list

@@TwoDentists Dr Vic did a photography guide for Kaizen where he said for crop sensor he recommends 60mm because you can get the flash much closer to the patient, so get brighter posterior shots. A shame there's no sony macro 60mm!

You’re welcome!

Hello! You can try using a diffuser such as the FlashKap or the popeshield 👌🏼 it will help but ring flash will always have quite a bit of reflections in the middle of the teeth

Great to hear!!

Hey amit, hope you’re well, sorry for the late response, we must have missed your comment. Check out our part 2 of the photography series for the settings we like to use and part one and the blog for part 1 for the batteries we recommend. Hope that helps!

Sometimes this can happen. You need to get used to using manual focus. It may be that you need to get a tiny bit closer or further away so the camera focus on the cavity preparation rather than the gums or the tip of the tooth. Also make sure that you're shooting at F22. Sometimes it's also helpful to take the photo at a bit closer to 1:3 magnification ratio as you will be further out and have a bigger depth of focus 👌🏼

Yes it's more than enough!

Yes it's more than enough!

I would recommend the new godox mf-r76s+ It's a new ring flash by godox SPECIFICALLY made for dental photography! I'll be making a new video on it soon 🙌🏼

Hi Andrej, sorry I haven't used any Nikon mirrorless cameras so I don't know specifically but most the settings should be the same.

La lente sigma no cabe en la sony a6400. Consulte nuestra publicación de blog para conocer la configuración recomendada. www.twodentists.com/dental-photography-equipment-ultimate-guide-2021/

Yes, but as the prices for the Sony 90mm lens have come down I would recommend it more than the samyang lens

We both use the Sony A6400 and we love it!

What camera and flash are you using?

@@TwoDentists sony a7iii and Sony macro lens and i do use twin and ring flash , the same brands you mentioned before i guess

Are the flashes firing properly? Sometimes when the trigger on top of the camera is not put in properly the camera doesn't recognise that you have a flash attached. Alternatively you can try turning off live view display in the settings

Hello Marcus, The sony 90mm macro lens would be perfect for your setup. As you have a full-frame A7III you will be able to get a wider shot compared to the A6400 crop sensore which helps you for your extra-oral shots. You may need a little bit of space for your extra-oral shots but usually there is enough space in a room. You wouldn't be able to use the Tamron 28-75 for your intra-oral shots as it's not a macro lens. If you are worried about how far away you have to be with extra-oral shots, download this app where you can tell it your camera and choose 90mm focal length and on the screen it will show you what you would see. Try it out on your clinic and see if you have enough space for the shots you want to get. Hope that helps play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.kadru.sonyviewfinderfree&hl=en_GB&gl=US

@@TwoDentists Thank you so much. Don't you feel like that the 90mm will be too close for extra-oral shots, especially when shooting on the operating room table? For example, I will need to take photos with the patient on the operating room table and me shooting from directly above most of the time

I don't use any picture profiles. The colours are dependant on your lens, your flash temperature and your white balance. If gingiva looks pale and super light, try lowering your white balance below 5600K. Let me know if that helps 👌🏽

Thank you 🙏🏼

Thank you so much

Hello! Please check out our video for dental photogrpahy equipment for my recommendations. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y793ktt0pp2qp6s.html 35mm lens is not recommended. I would recommend the Sony SEL90M28G

Hello! Have a look at our vlog post for our recommendations. The mf12 flash is great! www.twodentists.com/dental-photography-equipment-ultimate-guide-2021/

Hi Omar, I have explained this for the Meike flash in this video, was there anything specific you struggled with?

@@TwoDentists thanks buddy everything is great now thanks 🙏

It would be better for you to buy a canon mirrorless camera such as the canon R10 which is a great camera!

Hey, unfortunately we haven't had the chance to test any Fuji set ups. Maybe one day!

Hello! I recommend the Sony 90mm macro lens. It is better than the samyang in my opinion and has autofocus capabilities

Hi Shilpi! The owlbracket ballhead is instock at the moment. You can always email them to ask when they will have stock. An alternative bracket is the "PhotoMed R2 Dual Point Flash Bracket" which is from US.

@@TwoDentists Thank you so much for the reply

Hi Yousaf, I would definitely now recommend the godox twin mf12 with the x2t. It's the flash I use now!

@@TwoDentists Thank you! does this still connect to the owl bracket ballhead BH-N?

yes it does.

Check out this Sony lens: amzn.to/3QMPygb You would need to set it up above the patients head

I still think you’ll need a larger focal length lens to be honest if you want to capture intra-oral photos, how’s it been going so far with your current set up? Are you using a flash with this set up?

Hello, I haven't personally used any canon mirrorless cameras for dental photography but I don't see any reason as to why it wouldn't work. However, you will need a lens adapter to fit the canon 100mm macro lens. You will need a Canon EF-EOS M Mount Adapter.

Hello, sorry we have not heard of this problem before. It may be a faulty flash unit and nissin may need to replace it for you. As long as you are comfortable taking photos on manual mode it will not hinder your performance.

Hi Yoni, yes that is completely normal. The aperture is manually changed on the lens and you won't see the number change on the camera because it is not digitally connected.

@@TwoDentists that's what I assumed. Thank you for confirming.

Unfortunately not as it does not have a hot shoe mount for the flash

Hi Mattias, yes it will perform exactly the same 👌🏽

Hi Amorn! For full frame cameras the mag ratio will be different. You will need to experiment and see what looks good for your set up. When you know what looks good then you need to stay consistent with it so your shots are comparable. For the second question, these numbers are only relevant for AF. They tell the camera how far the lens is from the subject to improve the focusing. So when you take portrait shots, you should set it to Full or 0.5m-infinity because you’ll likely be about 1.5m away from the patient when taking the shot. Whereas when you’re taking intra-oral photos, you’ll be 0.28-0.5m away from the patient. When you’re using MF, these settings don’t change anything. Hope that helps 👍🏼

@@TwoDentists Thank you so much. That’s really helpful. I’m so glad I found your videos! ☺️

I think it would be better to get a lens with a focal length closer to 100mm. Even 60mm is better, you may struggle with 50mmn

You can consider the Nikkor Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S macro lens but it looks like it doesn't show you the magnification ratio on the ring. So harder to get consistent 1:3 ratio photos in Manual focus mode for example

Hi Florence! Your white balance should be about 5500k or on flash

Thank you for watching! Definitely the Sony because the sigma lens does not show the magnification ratio on the focus ring

I use an arca swiss plate which I tighten really well to the camera and then this adapter that goes on the owl bracket: Arca swiss plate: geni.us/arcaswissplate Adapter: geni.us/screwadapter

Even though I don't use the viewfinder often when using my A6400 I still think it's a good option to have in certain situations. I also use my A6400 outside of dentistry for general photography and I use the viewfinder then.

@@TwoDentists thanks for the reply! what kind of situations do you use it in dental photog?

Hello! I think the Sony FE 100mm GM lens is a bit over the top for dental photography. You also can't see the magnification ratio on the ring like with the 90mm lens. I still prefer the Sony FE 90mm F2.8 Macro G OSS

Hello, the reason I have chosen the A6000 is because I can find a good macro lens and a compatible flash. I did not look into Fujifilm because I could not find a reliable lens and flash combination. If you have found anything let me know!

Hello, it's a feature found on the unit that sits on top of the camera which is usually the trigger which connects to the two twin flashes. But some flashes have a modelling light on the twin flashes which you turn on via the trigger. So it can be both.

The 90mm lens on a crop sensor is still great for taking full occlusal shots. I've not had any problems with it at all! You don't need to be too far from the patient, I usually have the patient completely flat and low to the ground and it's ok, I've never needed to tiptoe or anything. I can only see it being a problem if you're VERY short!

Hi Mohamed, yes I have the godox mf12 flash now and it's a fantastic flash. It is stronger than the meike twin flash. It has a great modelling light.

Hey! We have a blog post on our website explaining the exact set you want. This is the link: www.twodentists.com/dental-photography-equipment-ultimate-guide-2021/ Scroll down to the premium sony twin flash set up and where it says get the sony a6000, get the a6400 body. The bracket is pretty essential because without it you will struggle to get enough light exposing the posterior teeth for posterior shots with a twin flash. It would give you much better results. Hope this helps

@@TwoDentists Thanks dear - I have the setup A6400 - now one of my meike twin flash is draining battery even after a single patient use - where as the other batteries are still good after usage. Any kind suggestion?

The autofocus is much better when you have a good flash with a good modelling light. With my new flash (links below) I found autofocus to be quite reliable. amzn.to/3Mg7ry5 amzn.to/3GUrEbC

Hi Mikhail, the saymayng 100mm lens will work fine with the twin flash as I have used it before. Check out 3:50 in this video where I show you the photo I took with the A6400, meike twin flash and the samyang 100mm lens.

@@TwoDentists Thanks!

@@TwoDentists hi if we use the canon 100mm macro lens on the m50 mark ii does that mean the effective focal length will be 160mm? Will that be too far away from the patient?

This godox flash and trigger is my new flash for my twin flash setup! Check it out: amzn.to/3Mg7ry5 amzn.to/3GUrEbC

Hello Hendy, yes I have tried both cameras and they are amazing! They would be great for an advanced dental photography user

You need to adjust the white balance to get rid of the orange/warmth. To change from from 25p to 24p you need to change from NTSC to PAL format in the settings.

Hi Shilpi! Congratulations on your big purchase 🥳🥳 I have replied to your message on Instagram, hopefully can solve your problem 🙌🏽

Hi Jeff, what flash do you have connected? Sometimes when the flash is not connected properly or the flash is not recognised by the camera, you will see a black screen at f22. Make sure the flash is compatible with your camera and is connected properly. If the flash is working fine but the screen looks black, try turning off "live view display".

@@TwoDentists thanks! Yes, I had my EFV settings off, I changed it to live view display, been getting some great pictures thanks to your videos!

That's awesome!

Im short btw ☺️

Unfortunately there are not any other lenses other than the sony 90mm macro lens that I can recommend. The choice is very limited at the moment for sony mirrorless cameras.

@@TwoDentists how about 50mm f2.8 sony lens?

The focal length of 50mm is not good for dental photography.

Because of focus peaking in Mirrorless cameras! Have a look at our photography equipment video where I explain it more: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y793ktt0pp2qp6s.html

I think you mean the Godox mf12? I think it's fantastic! It's the flash I now use with this trigger: geni.us/Godox-X2T-S
