Flashpoint - FlashBack Lux Junior Retro Camera Flash (Mint Green), Godox Lux Junior

While embracing the charm of yesteryears, the FlashBack Junior Retro Camera Flash in mint green is a compact and lightweight speedflash that harks back to the original on-camera Automatic Speedlight introduced in 1972. This miniaturized version offers a blend of retro aesthetics and modern functionality, making it a unique addition to any photographer's toolkit.The FlashBack Junior Speedflash does not feature built-in wireless radio R2 technology. Instead, it relies on the user's understanding of Guide Numbers and distance appreciation, making it a perfect choice for photography enthusiasts who prefer manual control. This flash can be operated in both Manual and Automatic Modes, offering flexibility based on your shooting requirements.The Automatic Mode of this retro camera flash is a nod to the era before camera TTL was available. It uses thyristor sensors strategically placed on the flash for precise exposure control. In Manual Mode, the light delivers consistent, repeatable output across seven user-controlled levels.The FlashBack Junior Speedflash comes with a single-pin hot shoe trigger, ensuring compatibility with any camera equipped with a hot shoe or a Sync post. This includes not only the latest models from Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm, Panasonic, Olympus, or Pentax but also vintage cameras from Exacta, Contax, Leica, Konica, and Linhof.The built-in sensor on the flash body ensures accurate and rich exposure once the lens is set to the suggested f-stop. The flash's automation is f-stop related, not TTL camera linked, offering a unique advantage in terms of price versus performance.The FlashBack Junior Speedflash is powered by rechargeable lithium-ion cells, providing reliable, uninterrupted flash photography. It offers even coverage at a fixed 28mm focal length flash spread, with a Guide Number of 46ft / 14m @ISO 100. It also features an advanced integrated optical receiver for both S1 and S2 pre-flash TTL systems triggers.This retro camera flash is ideal for events and situations where on-camera flash illumination is beneficial. It provides balanced coverage over a wide range of focal lengths, fixed at 28mm, without the need for a speedlite crippled zoom head function. It can freeze action, deliver pure daylight color, and fill in murky shadows without overpowering the exposure.The FlashBack Junior Retro Camera Flash is a great choice for beginners, occasional users, amateurs, and professionals looking for a reliable backup on-camera strobe. It's also a hit with Leica and Fujifilm camera owners who appreciate its nostalgic appeal. Like a classic '57 Chevy or a cold coke, this retro flash is a timeless piece that adds a touch of nostalgia to your photography gear.Note: For Sony cameras, the Shoe adapter WE4711 is required.
