Fun little 'flashback'

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.

Good almost perfect

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.

Too high of power, not good flash spread.

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,

A good compromise flash for the Leica

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!

Not just a nostalgia item

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.

Great retro flash

By MICHAEL S.

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.

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. Rediscover the joy of classic photography with this timeless accessory, available at Adorama.
