>>3411621>Is it essentially a Tungsten light?Nah mate, unlike movie film stock, still films are all daylight balanced. So all flashes are daylight.
In cinema, you use tons of lights, so it makes sense to use tungsten, because they’re much cheaper for the light output. And also, most stocks come in a tunsgten balanced version, so you don’t lose much. Also, since you have much tighter control of the light, you can use even daylight film and an 80A filter. The 2 stops of light loss are compensated by using more light, no big deal.
For stills though, you’re using maybe 2, at most 3 lights, and most usually just 1. So it’s not worth to try and save money buying tungsten. Especially when all stocks are daylight.
Plus, only continuous light is available in tungsten, I don’t think any tunsten strobes are available (or even possible).
