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.

i like it and buy this again give to my friend

Flashpoint FlashBack Senior

This little guy packs a lot of punch. But honestly, I got it because of how it reminds me of the flashes I used back in the day. Works exactly as expected and at a reasonable price. Definitely recommend if you want that bit of nostalgia.

Fun little 'flashback'

It's a great little flash that i can attach to my Leica m2 or onto my DSLR. Honestly i prefer this one over the lux senior since it feels much stronger. Though it only takes 3A Batteries and it kinda burns through them fast if you use flash alot.

Good almost perfect

Flash spread is pretty narrow, anything wider than 35mm you can definitely see pretty significant falloff. Wish I could go to 1/128 power, but other than that I love it for my film and digital cameras. Something fun to supplement/play with if you already have the v860iii,

Too high of power, not good flash spread.

Just couldn't resist the chance to have a flash which took me back to my childhood.  Very straightforward to use.  I'm very pleased with the purchase.

Great retro flash

I am using this on a Leica camera, Since on camera flashes on a Leica are either very expensive, or do not work well this is an excellent compromise.  Since it doesn?t talk to the camera it is necessary to adjust camera settings whenever there is a change in the location or if you zoom in or out by a large amount.  I have not yet used the flash for as a fill flash in sunlight but I am hopeful of good results.  However I expect that this would not be a good choice for wedding photo work since it is necessary to adjust camera settings too often.  I do love the ?retro? look, it goes great with the Leica!

A good compromise flash for the Leica

This innovative flash is really useful, not just for those interested in the look of it. It?s really well engineered, the folding mechanism is quite clever. The reflector pedals seem a bit delicate, not sure how well it will hold up under heavy use. I was afraid it would be underpowered, but I found that at ISO 400 it can light up good sized room, and will even work bounced (not on auto) it the ceilings are not too high. The auto exposure function seems accurate. I tested it at f/5.6 at ISO 400. The foldout reflector is still relatively small and thus gives a fairly harsh light on portraits. It?s a little better as far as softness at very close range, such as I use for wide angle environmental portraits. It works well to blend with ambient light at lower shutter speeds.
I?m using it mostly off-camera with the compact LightPix T2 radio sync.
I gave it 4 rather than 5 stars because I wish they had included TTL and radio sync to make it more useful for serious photographers.
