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.

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.

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,

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.

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!

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

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.
Over the years, the Flashpoint FlashBack Senior Speedflash has proven to be a timeless blend of classic and modern flash technology. This on-camera flash, with its striking dark green color, is a miniaturized fusion of the original Automatic Speedlight, first introduced in 1972, and the reflector flash design that dominated the 1930s.
The Flashpoint FlashBack Senior Speedflash features a single-pin hot shoe trigger, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of cameras, both contemporary and vintage. This includes cameras equipped with a hot shoe or an old-school sync post. The automation of this flash is f-stop related, through a sensor on the flash body, not TTL camera linked. This means that once the lens is set to the suggested displayed f-stop, the exposure is consistently accurate and rich.
This flash is compatible with a variety of camera platforms, including Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm, Panasonic, Olympus, Pentax, Exacta, Contax, Leica, Konica, Linhof, and more. One of the standout features of the FlashBack Senior Speedflash is its balance of price and performance. The guide number is designed for convenience, not superpower performance, making it a reliable choice for photographers of all levels.
The FlashBack Senior Speedflash is powered by rechargeable lithium-ion cells, providing a dependable and uninterrupted flash photography experience. Its retro fan shape, reminiscent of the days when reflectors were the norm, opens and closes in a circular 9-blade silver dish.
The flash can be used in manual or automatic mode, with the light delivering dependable, repeatable output in 7 user-controlled output levels in manual mode. The Flashpoint FlashBack Senior Speedflash offers exceptionally even coverage at the fixed 28mm focal length flash spread, and the consumer will appreciate the Guide Number of 46ft / 14m @ISO 100.
This speedlight also features an advanced and enhanced integrated optical receiver for both S1 and S2 pre-flash TTL systems triggers. It's perfect for events and situations where flash illumination from the on-camera perspective is an advantage. It provides balanced coverage over a wide range of focal lengths, fixed at 28mm, without using speedlite crippled zoom head function.
The Flashpoint FlashBack Senior Speedflash is a great choice for beginners, occasional users, amateurs, and professionals looking for reliable backup on-camera strobes. Its compact and lightweight design, coupled with the integrated auto functions and features, make it a natural choice for pro or amateur photographers. Please note that the Shoe adapter WE4711 is required for Sony cameras.
