Glad to hear that. I hope you will enjoy it. It's so much fun to shoot with these flashes, a true photographic experience :)

Really enjoyed this review but most especially your sweet bubbly personality 😊 the photos looked lovely! I’m looking forward to using my lux junior when it arrives.

Excellent and fun review! Thanks for this great video. I'm torn between both flashes. :)

I prefer the senior but the built in battery is a bit limiting. But both of them are a lot of fun

@@braaji you will love it :) I wish the Senior would have changeable batteries too :'(

The Lux Senior is a wonderful tool. I made a sleeve (2 1/4" x 7/8") using 1/4 CTO gel to warm the color rendition. It slips off before closing flash. You can back the gel w. clear tape for extra sturdiness. Next, I (gasp) sprayed the reflector white, for softer light quality & less edge fall-off. I also stack 2 hot shoe connectors coupled w. a 1 or 3ft. 3.5mm mini-plug cable. Simply slip off the top connector for off-camera positioning. Happy experimenting. P.S. the CTO sleeve 'travels' on the cable when not in use.

Those are good tips! Thanks.

Thank You, perhaps you want the full name of the camera from the USSR in Russian: ФЭД = Феликс Эдмундович Дзержинский. This camera was "then" more expensive than SLR cameras

Galing. Keep it up po! 😊

The retro style Fuji's and these flashes are a match made in Heaven

Disagree with you and another tester confirms this, Godox LUX Junior produces a soft and uniform light compared to Godox LUX Senior, which due to its shape shines with hard light with pronounced vignetting and covenants in the center of the light output.

Interesting. When we tried the Senior gave us a bit smoother shadows, while the Junior gave a more harsh shadows. Will definitely give it more testing. Thank you for your input!

Indeed, that's what I've heard as well. I'd be interested to see more tests with the dish in its folded state, though. So far I've only seen Robert Hamm try that, but the results he got were interesting.

@@CountDiLuna I haven't looked at his test, but I suspect that the plate left folded, in the upper part, above the lamp, may give a distortion in the spot of light in the image. Of course, you can go a more radical way and completely remove the plate, but then you don’t need this flash, it’s better to buy another one, because it will lose its artistic value. If in certain scenarios you need to change the light pattern from the flash, then in my opinion it is better to use various kinds of diffusers, like with Aliexpress, or soft boxes, perhaps an umbrella.

@@JohnGreeceman You are right, it does. I spotted the flash in a store and have now had the opportunity to try it. It is definitely a quirky little thing. On the plus side, it is very light, 227g I think, and it fires consistently connected to the PC sync contact on my 1954 Kowa Kalloflex. The Kalloflex and a small Olympus 35RC film camera are actually the reasons why I'm looking at this and the smaller Godox lux junior in the first place. I have modern speed lights that I use with my digital camera, but I want a small, light and reliable flash unit with a PC sync contact for use on the Kalloflex. The Olympus admittedly has a hot shoe, but the camera is tiny and gets really unbalanced with a big flash on top 😅

you should use manual lens also, so you can see how far the subject is.

True. These flashlights are best when paired up with a vintage lens.

I've been looking at reviews of the Snr model, so yours was a good one. I struggle with speed lights, so been looking for something more simple to use, which these are. The only thing that puts me off buying a Snr is that you can't replace the battery when it finally dies, so it has to go in the bin. And so I don't like the idea of having to throw something away that costs £120. A real design fault there Godox.

Completely agree. The weakness of the Senior is the built in battery. We had to stop using it as the battery got depleted, while with the Junior we just swapped the batteries. Personally I feel the Senior is more of a "fashion element" than a flash for serious work. With the Senior the emphasis is on the feeling, the joy of using while the Junior feels more of a retro style small flash. The Senior also a bit more fragile, so I would not recommend it for work, but since it's so much fun to use I think it's a must have for anyone who loves the joy of taking photographs :)

Well, that is true in some way. If you're doing professional photography work, you need powerful flashes that can be used with a trigger which will allow you to place the light anywhere such as if you want to achieve Rembrandt light for example is going to be impossible with this. Its more for aesthetics really 😁 It does look very attractive! Not for professional use doesn't always mean it doesn't work at all tho, I mean, I am pretty happy with the result of my portraits 😊

First off, you have to like this kind of retro look to your lighting to even want to buy it. These aren't meant to replace speedlights or strobes. They're just meant as fun options to give you that Polaroid hard light vintage look. It could work in a pro setting if you're shooting models and you want to offer them some Polaroid type images as an aside. Or you can use it for vintage Fashion shoots where direct flash is the order of the day. But like I said, it's mainly for fun shooting and maybe some pro use as something to offer as something extra. @@errole
