The Flashpoint FlashBack Senior On-Camera Flash, in its stylish white finish, is a high-quality blend of vintage charm and modern technology. This reliable and durable flash is a nod to the original Automatic Speedlight of 1972 and the reflector flash design of the 1930s, offering a unique fusion of past and present for photography enthusiasts.This versatile on-camera flash features a single-pin hot shoe trigger, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of cameras, from popular brands like Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm, Panasonic, Olympus, and Pentax, to vintage models with a live hot shoe or an old-school sync post. The FlashBack Senior On-Camera Flash is not limited to the current popular cameras, but extends its compatibility to a broader spectrum of camera platforms.The flash's automation is f-stop related, controlled 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 accurate and rich, regardless of the camera platform used.The FlashBack Senior On-Camera Flash boasts a guide number of 46, designed for convenience and versatility rather than superpower performance. It uses rechargeable lithium-ion cells as its built-in power solution, ensuring dependable, uninterrupted flash photography.Reminiscent of the days when reflectors ruled, the flash features a retro fan shape that opens and closes in a circular 9-blade silver dish. This design harks back to the era of single-use magnesium bulbs, adding a touch of nostalgia to your photography experience.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. In auto mode, the flash takes the driver's seat with the flash exposure, but the photographer must set the appropriate f-stop on the camera body or lens.The FlashBack Senior On-Camera Flash offers even coverage at a fixed 28mm focal length flash spread, and features an advanced integrated optical receiver for both S1 and S2 pre-flash TTL systems triggers. It provides balanced coverage over a wide range of focal lengths, without using a speedlite crippled zoom head function, and delivers pure daylight color.Ideal for beginners, occasional users, amateurs, and professionals alike, the Flashpoint FlashBack Senior On-Camera Flash is a practical and stylish addition to any photography kit. Please note, the Shoe adapter WE4711 is required for Sony cameras.

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.
