Surprisingly strong!

I was worried I dint get the ds125 but these two ds-51 are sometimes so strong that a f16 and iso50 are not enough and just shoot with the edge of the beam

Perfect addition for compact whith shoe

Works beautifully with my Panasonic LX5. The hardwired TTL sync is a great improvement over a slave-sensor strobe. I have just used it for macro and close-ups yet, due to lousy vis in the Mexican Pacific but worked faultlessly. Ikelite is the best baslance between price and functionality. Not as cooly finished as other brands but trusty to a fault.
