We are deviating from the original topic here, nor does it fit well under the 'Lens Talk' category.

I had wanted to start a new topic about LED lighting spectrum, I have obtained a prism to try to analyse the light spectrum from these various LED light sources but have yet to find a way to mount it on a camera.  This is an important, vital? aspect of indoor photography, flash isn't an ideal lighting medium and modelling can be a challenge,  LED's seem to be ideal, with added advantage of being small, low power consumption and cool, but obtaining LED lamps's with a reasonably complete spectrum isn't easy.

Does this Nichia Ultra-High CRI White LED fit the bill?

Please can somebody who knows, point me to an ideal LED which is good for indoors 'daylight' spectrum photography, preferably with COB, (Chip on Board).

A spectrometer like I use is certainly a much better way to measure that, but comes at a price $$$$..... ;-)

Nichia LEDs have proven to be of excellentg quality and its Ra of 95 seems to prove that!!

  • I think, therefore I am. I think.
Do any of shorter focal length F- mount Micro-Nikkors yield equivalent performance to the APO-Rodagon D 75mm f/4?

Here's a fairly "quick and dirty" 2:1 example using a D800, a 60mm f/2.8D very near minimum focus with 56mm of extension via 2 Kenko tubes.  Downsized to 50% to meet forum limitations, NEF on request.
