At Photokina? Tweet us Your Best Lighting Finds.


Photokina is celebrating its 20th anniversary, so this year is kinda big. If you are there, please enjoy a bier along with my jealousy.

And if you run across something cool in the lighting dept., shoot me a link/Twitpic/etc., on Twitter and I will do my best to retweet the good stuff out to everyone else.

One thing right off the bat: California Sunbounce is giving away a 200ws Lumedyne Deluxe Signature Series flash system at Photokina. This is like the M-1 Abrams of high-end, rugged battery-powered flash. They go for about $2,400.00 US.

So when you stop by CSB's booth (Hall 9, B008) to look at their new toys, make sure to drop a biz card (or just your contact info) and enter to win.

will be there from wednesday on, mostly at the booth 04.1/E20 (application systems heidelberg, german Bibble distribution) and editing my latest pics, including some nice small-flash stuff. would be cool to meet the guy who gave small flashes the international credit they deserve.

"Look Ma - no cables!"

Strobist on dope, I'd say ;)

If you check out the bio of their CEO you'll know what it really means...

The Prios have LED pilot light, allegedly 100W, but in reality very dim. Color of the LED is awful. Controls are everything but self explanatory, and I don't believe a single word about the production in Germany. I asked a few questions and wouldn't bet on them. "How do I know there will be service available in two years from now - you are a new company?" Answer: Look at our booth, isn't it impressive? "What is XE plus?" Answer: It is a xenon flash plus a LED flash with some delay. "What is that good for?" Answer: Well.... it's a feature.

Ah-ha.

I dont think they will be around for long, and it looks extremely fishy.
