High performance and future-proof

It is available in five versions, each one perfectly tailored to a digital camera by one of the leading manufacturers (Canon, Nikon, Olympus/Panasonic, Pentax or Sony Alpha) – all of which are rapid response due to their fully automatic flash modes. These permit precise light output tailored to each individual subject. Numerous manual fine tuning options extend your creative photographic freedom. Virtually limitless possibilities are opened up for creative lighting thanks to a fully swivelling reflector system which also contains a flip-out reflector card and a diffuser. The slave function allows the 50 AF-1 digital to be used “without constraints”. In the respective cameraspecific wireless TTL mode it can even be used as a slave device.
