Flashpoint FlashBack Junior Retro Camera Flash, White

A Blast from the Past with Modern Flair! The Flashpoint FlashBack Junior Speedflash is a compact, stylish, and high-quality shoe mount flash that harkens back to the classic on-camera Automatic Speedlight of 1972. With its durable construction and versatile features, this retro-inspired flash is designed for photographers who appreciate manual control and the art of traditional flash photography.Take Charge of Your Lighting: While the FlashBack Junior does not include the modern wireless radio R2 technology, it empowers photographers with the ability to manually calculate the perfect exposure using Guide Numbers and an understanding of distance. This flash offers both Manual and Automatic Modes, with the latter reminiscent of pre-TTL days when thyristor sensors on the flash unit provided intelligent exposure control.Reliable Performance: The FlashBack Junior delivers consistent and adjustable output across 7 user-controlled levels in Manual Mode. In Automatic Mode, the photographer is tasked with setting the correct f-stop on the camera body or lens, ensuring that the flash exposure is tailored to the ISO ratio, distance, and subject matter's tonal value.Universal Compatibility: This Speedflash features a single-pin hot shoe trigger, ensuring compatibility with any camera equipped with a hot shoe or a Sync post. From the latest Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm, Panasonic, Olympus, and Pentax models to vintage Exacta, Contax, Leica, Konica, and Linhof cameras, the FlashBack Junior is ready to illuminate your shots.Precision Exposure: With automation based on the f-stop indicated on the flash body and a sensor that is independent of TTL camera links, setting your lens to the suggested f-stop results in accurate and vibrant exposures.Effortless Power: The convenience of rechargeable lithium-ion cells provides a built-in power solution, offering reliable and continuous flash photography without the hassle of battery changes.Even Coverage: The Flashpoint FlashBack Junior Speedflash boasts a fixed 28mm focal length flash spread, providing balanced illumination across a wide range of settings. With a Guide Number of 46ft / 14m @ISO 100, it ensures even coverage without the need for a zoom head function.Advanced Optical Receiver: The integrated optical receiver supports both S1 and S2 pre-flash TTL systems, making it ideal for event photography and situations where on-camera flash is beneficial.Retro Charm for Today's Photographer: Whether you're a beginner, an occasional user, an amateur, or a professional seeking a reliable backup, the FlashBack Junior is a nostalgic yet practical addition to your camera. It's particularly appealing to Leica and Fujifilm enthusiasts who value the charm of retro equipment.Embrace the Legacy: The Flashpoint FlashBack Junior Speedflash invites photographers to relive the golden era of flash photography, where skill and knowledge were key to capturing the perfect exposure. Now, with the convenience of automatic exposure, the user still maintains control over shutter speed and f-stop adjustments for precise results.Note: Sony camera users will require the Shoe adapter WE4711 to ensure compatibility with the FlashBack Junior Speedflash.
