Lux Junior - Lux Series - Speedlites - Products | Godox

The Lux Junior features a Vintage, Retro aesthetic, with controls based around the dial and switches of yesteryear. Second, it’s a battery hog - particularly when shooting at higher power settings, eating up AAA batteries at a rate faster than I’d be otherwise happy with. It’s an incredibly good conversation starter and will give you a solid appreciation for the struggles that film-era photographers would go through daily. Flash recycle times varied depending on how new the batteries were and what power of flash I was using, but generally, it was almost instant.Each brand has different pins and software that communicate with the cameras and operate in TTL mode. Compatible to all camera types and embrace diversified aesthetics, it lets your creatives flow with no obstacle. During the time I used the Godox Lux Junior, I often thought about how useful it would be if its head tilted or rotated so that it could be bounced on the ceiling or wall, a technique widely used to make a better distribution of light.

For those of you who are feeling more adventurous, the M mode enables you to unlock many more creative possibilities and helps you rediscover the joys of taking photos with classic controls. That makes it a great hook, and if you’re asking random strangers to pose for a portrait, they are more likely to say yes. One of its flaws – the fact that it doesn’t communicate with the camera to give the aperture and ISO value, is also one of the main advantages of this flash, because you can use it with any brand of camera, digital or film. INSSTRO was kind enough to allow me the use of a review model, which I ended up taking on a 2,500 mile cross-country trip.It can thus be used with older cameras which have a PC socket, both on-camera – even if they only have a cold-shoe – as well as off-camera.
