Today Leica announced a
new flash unit and remote control, the Leica SF 60 and Leica SF C1 remote. The unit is meant for use on the Leica S, SL and M systems.
Here is the official press
release from Leica:
Leica Camera AG presents
the new SF 60 flash unit and the SF C1 remote control unit as perfect additions
to the Leica S, SL and M systems. The two units can also be used in combination
with the Leica Q and the Leica CL. While the flash unit provides an extensive
range of options for flash-photography in a compact form, the remote control
unit enables off-camera flash with the SF 60 and provides countless additional
creative opportunities.
Despite its low weight of
300 g and a height of only 98 mm, the Leica SF 60 offers numerous professional
functions. In addition to features such as TTL-flash, HSS to 1/8000s, a flash
head with tilt and swivel function, a zoom reflector, an integrated diffuser
and a reflector card, and master/slave capability, it also offers an impressive
guide number of 60 (at ISO 100). This makes the Leica SF 60 an extremely
powerful and versatile mobile solution for all photographers who appreciate the
advantages of qualitatively excellent light-management in any situation.
The SF 60 also offers
constant LED light output adjustable in nine steps as a source of light for
spontaneous video recording of subjects in low light. All settings can be
conveniently made with the two dials and the colour LCD panel of the flash
unit.
The Leica SF 60 is powered
by four AA cells. For longer shooting sessions the unit can also be connected
to a Power Pack as an external power supply, which, in addition to higher
capacity, also enables even faster flash recycle times and simultaneous power
supply to up to two SF 60 flash units. If required, other devices with USB
charging ports, e.g. smartphones or tablets, can also be recharged from the
Power Pack.
The Leica SF C1 remote
control unit adds a multitude of creative options. It is mounted on the hot
shoe of the camera and enables wireless remote control of SF 60 flash units in
the 2.4-GHz frequency band. The flash units can be organised in up to seven
channels, each with three groups, and controlled either together or separately
with the same or different settings. Photographers can use all functions of all
the flash units, just as if they were mounted on the camera. This opens up
countless options for professional light set-ups with system flash units.
As is the case with the
Leica SF 60 flash unit, all settings can be read off and easily changed on the
clearly laid-out colour LCD panel of the Leica SF C1 remote control unit.
Alongside reserves
sufficient for around 3,000 exposures from its two AAA cells, the future-proof
SF C1 remote control unit also features a microSD card slot that allows latest
firmware updates to be uploaded to keep the unit at the cutting edge of
technology.
Both units are available
for purchase from now on.
