Dies sind meine neuen Seiten, und hier geht’s ab sofort erstmal in Deutsch weiter – über meine Familie, Hobbies wie Photographie, freie Software oder Motorrad und Reisen, über Gott und die Welt und was man garantiert sonst noch alles nicht wissen will.
Wem’s gefällt, der kann ja einen Kommentar ablassen. Wem’s nicht gefällt, der muß hier ja nicht weiter lesen.
Ach ja, weil’s ja sein muß: ich bin der verantwortliche Admin für die Domain lonien.de inklusive aller Unterseiten. Für Inhalte von extern verlinkten Seiten haften wir nicht. Und da hier auch kein Geld verdient wird, brauchen wir weder eine Umsatz- noch eine sonstige Steuernummer oder Schuhgröße. Wer Schubladen sucht ist hier falsch.
Für alle Inhalte hier gilt: 
copyleft 1999-heute Wolfgang und die Loniens… und bei Fragen: fragen…
Update from 2012: I’ve decided to write most of the stuff here in English again. Looking at my statistics, I still *do* have visitors from all around the world, and that should make it lots easier for them – even if I’m not a native speaker. So excuse my German pidgin English…

Danke – in ein paar Stunden wünsch ich Dir dasselbe!
How are you doing sorry it has been so long your friends John and Barbara lonien tucson arizona
John!
So glad to hear from you after – yes, it must have been ages
I’m at work right now, but I’ll answer this evening with an email. I think I’m connected to Susan, over Facebook, if that is your Susan – but how many Susan Loniens do I expect to live in Tucson, AZ?.
Anyway, more this evening – now you must be sleeping anyway because of the time difference…
cheers,
Wolfgang
Dear Wolfgang,
A personal invitation to rejoin me over at the Visual Science Lab on Monday to start over. So many people wrote to me that I was amazed. They were so passionate. And I missed the writing. Thanks for being such a warm and generous supporter.
Hope to see you there.

Danke Kevin für den netten Kommentar! And yes, English is/was always a hobby for me, having been a musician in an earlier life (I used to play bass). And we talk English with my wife, both our daughter and me.
Schön von Dir/Euch zu hören!
Gruß,
Wolfgang
Hi Sir Wolfgang! First of all I want to say you have a great photographs! Thanks for sharing them all! I just want to ask if you made a review about your Simock 300 watts studio strobes, am purchasing a studio strobes the same brand and output power so I wanted to know it’s pros and cons! Thank you so much and more power to you Sir! ;@)
Hi Francis,
no, I haven’t reviewed my studio strobe, but the Simock E300 is in my opinion a very good one. I paid less than 200€, and that even included a stand and a 36 inch octabox. Tremendous value for the money, and all Bowens accessories will fit.
If you have space high enough to install them permanently, there’s also a newer model with a remote to set the power, so you wouldn’t have to climb ladders all the time
For our flat, the 300Ws model is more than enough. It comes in a nice metal housing and it’s very reliable. I’d buy more in a heartbeat whenever I’ll need them.
Hope that helps,
and thanks for the nice comment on my photos,
cheers,
Wolfgang
Thanks for the information and for your wonderful/honest opinion Sir Wolfgang! What model are you referring with the control output power remote capability? I can’t see this model in the Simock website.
Cheers! ;@)
You’re welcome Francis!
Simock has a remote to control their studio strobes, much like Profoto does it. Please note that this isn’t a trigger for your camera, just a remote power control for the flashes. So if you have some hanging high, this saves you the climbing.
Oh, and no need to call me “Sir” – wasn’t given knight status by her majesty yet
Just “Wolfgang” is fine with me.
Have a good day!
Thanks Sir Wolfgang for the information! Actually here in the Philippines we do call a Person “Sir” as a sign of respect or someone who have done an achievement and also who have done to amaze everybody! So if you may please accept my respect! You amazed me with your works! Thanks Again! If ever you find yourself and you wish to visit the Philippines give me a message via e-mail so that I can help you and show you what Philippines can offer and places that can keep pace with other captivating landscape in abroad! ;@)
Thanks Francis!
Hi Sir Wolfgang! I just recently bought 4 Simock Mythos E-300 studio strobes If I may ask you, Did you encounter some issues? I encounter that every time I use it (although I’m just using only one at the moment) there will be a time where the “flash bulb” will not pop! Have you encountered this kind of issue? I just wondering that when this happens the modeling lamp will turn off and the unit will beep as if it is recharging for the next pop. I don’t know if the unit has a problem or it is just the trigger. Thanks Sir. ;@)
Hi Francis,
sounds like this one of your units has a defective flash bulb. Is it inserted correctly, and does it work if you try the flash tube of another one in this unit?
I don’t think it’s the trigger, because your modeling light turns off during recharging (which is normal), and you also hear the beep (when completely recharged) – so the trigger does do something.
If it’s the flash tube only – they should be changed by your dealer. Replacements will cost around $50 or so (don’t know how much at your location). Modeling lights are cheaper.
Oh, and make sure to touch the light bulbs with gloves when inserting/removing them, that prolongs their life span considerably.
Hope that helps,
and cheers,
Wolfgang
