All this talk of indoor wedding shooting makes me curious.
What is the brightest flash currently available new? I am
aware of the T45, but they are not common anymore. Is the
T32 the brightest flash still available new, even including
aftermarket flashes?
Pete
Most powerful electronic camera-mounted flash I'm aware of (that's
commercially made and sold; i.e. not a custom or home-made one) is the Metz
60 CT-1 and 60 CT-4. The Sunpak 622 Super Pro runs a very close
second. Both are rated with a GN of 60 in meters or 197 in feet for ISO
100 film. The Metz requires a "slab" to power it. OTOH, the Sunpak can be
powered by four "C" cells in a battery holder that mounts to the front of
the flash handle. Not too many flashes at full dump to be had from a set
of batteries though, and recharge time is lengthy. Sunpak also has a high
voltage slab for it that can recharge the flash very quickly and gives it
much greater capacity (more frames before battery change).
