This last part has been mentioned in other publications, and I’m on the fence on it. While it would be nice to have TTL and high-speed sync, it’s important to note that this is a budget, retro-designed flash. Its simplicity is a selling point, and a way to keep costs down. But this feeling is not new, nor did it start with Stranger Things. Just think about the evolution of cameras, which looked like hi-tech tools from the space age, and nowadays, many of us prefer the looks of retro-styled camera models. The OM-D line does justice to the heritage of Olympus’ OM series. The same with the PEN lineup, with the maximum exponent of elegance achieved with the PEN-F. Finally, the other negative aspect that I have to point out is the fact that, when mounted on the PEN-F, I easily hit my forehead on the flash, and I can’t properly put my eye to the EVF’s eyecup, as they are close and at the same level.

Overall, I am having a lot of fun with the Lux Senior, and I look forward to really putting it through its paces. It looks cool, and the handling and feel are excellent. The flash, as I mentioned, can be used off-camera – both with a sync cord as well as wirelessly, in optical control mode. But even when used on-camera – as with all the photos in this article – it produces a relatively soft and pleasing look, thanks to the way the reflector shapes the light.

The Lux Junior features a Vintage, Retro aesthetic, with controls based around the dial and switches of yesteryear. With its silver-coloured accent and classic textured surface, the Lux Junior is the perfect companion for enthusiasts who enjoys the vintage look. Keep It Simple From the first emulsions on glass plates to the widespread use of film, the sensitivity of the support was extremely low, which required the use of a strong, instantaneous light source, which made it possible to capture the photograph in a fraction of a second. Surely everyone remembers having seen films in which the photographer holds a small tray with flash powder, which, when ignited, causes an intense explosion of light.

Over the last few years, Godox has gained recognition – especially among professionals, by launching a set of quality models, rich in features and priced quite below their most direct competition. Just think of the AD600 Pro and AD 1200 Pro strobes for studio or location use. And, of course, the Godox AD200, extremely popular with wedding and portrait photographers. To get started, the whole operation is very straightforward, as you want in a flash like this. Just insert two AAA batteries (not included in the box), turn it on, and in about 6 seconds, once the light turns green, it’s ready to use. As I mentioned, once opened, its operation is similar on both flashes. However, both start-up time and recycling time (full power) are about half of what we get on the Lux Junior with two AAA alkaline batteries.Meanwhile, safer and more practical processes have been developed. Some of you will remember the Kodak flashcubes, so popular in the 60s and 70s, but they only allowed 4 uses (one for each side of the cube). The use of flash cubes and flash bulbs gave way to electronic flashes when their price became accessible to the amateur market. As a tribute to the timeless aesthetics that transcends time, Lux Junior presents the pure classic design and function to explore the essence of photography along with you and turn your nostalgia into tangible beauty.
