It might be partly a matter of exposure, the rug seems a bit darker with the HD test shot. The SMC exposed at 1/20 and the HD at 1/25. I should have locked exposure in M mode but things were going pretty fast.

A pleasure.
Originally posted by Alizarine How fast was it? On my Metz 58 AF-2 on full power it's around 4 seconds with a fully-charged set of eneloops. If it can recycle in 2~3 seconds like my workhorse YN560, it'll be a killer....
I don't know what kind of batteries they had. The flash charged faster than 4 seconds, and even after pressing Test (full power) it was ready before 2 seconds had passed. It was faster than what I get with my 540 but the batteries might explain it, I use 1,2V hybrids.
