No, but I think that PRIOLITE is doomed.

Have they undermined other companies' leaf shutter lenses, for less money, with higher sync speeds? Will Q lenses be the last leaf shutter lenses?

I don't see anything about the HSS compatibility (5 flashes per second max with t.5=1/4500s).

I suppose these will be OK for wedding photographers, who typically can control most everything and so don't need special stuff
But "revolutionary"?? - maybe revoltingly large!

I think the sync speed is exclusive to Pentax cameras. Ricoh marketing manager said the 645Z will have the highest flash sync speed of any MF system when using these lights.

Probably a modified version of the MBX1000. He was shooting with the MBX1000 in the video.

What does this have to do with Ricoh?

Alizarine · 06-08-2015, 06:24 PM

does it have cappuccino mode...whatever it is? But seriously, is it exclusive to pentax?

fuent104 · 06-08-2015, 06:24 PM

Their webpage shows sync speeds of 1/200 and 1/400
