Ordered one from BH last week

and yes I will use it on LF

I could not resist the retro expanding reflector blades

and it's rechargeable

I like using flash bulbs in the old Honeywell unit on which the Godox is based

Perhaps on a 4X5 Printed point and shoot

Sure looks cool.
I wonder if the reflector is big enough to shape the light in a way that is noticeably different from a regular camera flash?

I guess I will find out

I like to experiment

Man I wanted one of these like 20 years ago. So cool they coming out with things that have that quality that we want to see in images. I wanted to use it on my Holgas and Dianas.

They sell for $10 on eby

The expensive battery is the money

I think I have 3 that work and flashbulbs

I thing B&H will ship my new one in 2 weeks

just being round and having less of the light coming straight from the tube will give a noticeably smoother look.

Any follow up on this? Looking for something to use with my stereo realist and vintage 120 folders. I posted something similar on photrio. I wonder if they have tamed the trigger voltage?

I already paid B&J a month ago

Not yet from them

Amazon sold a few

Now Amazon is $10 cheaper, in stock

The new flash is really designed for DIGI as the GN is low

I use real flash bulbs with film

Watch the 3 videos on Amazon

I won’t buy the other one as it uses AAA

After 6 weeks BO at BH, they caved today, no idea when it would show

I canceled the fully paid item

Sorry BH I try to buy from you always and have a very heavy order in transit from NJ

I will have the toy/fashion flash Thursday

Got it today

Really bad tiny print instructions, I had to magnify and guess

It really needs a PRO Video to Grok it, none online

I will not make the video

Discounted $10 AFTER I bought 2 days ago from Amazon

That has been hide and seek with Amazon



I shoot it tomorrow
