The Auto mode is not what the name might suggest because it is not a TTL flash. It is necessary to follow the indications according to the table in the instruction manual, as seen below.

Which makes me ask: have you received any consideration from the manufacturer/importer/dealer for this review? Now you might say that simply looking cool does not make it any better as a photographic device, and in a sense that’s true. In fact, the reflector is not just for show; as I discuss in the “Light quality” section below, it creates a softer, more flattering light. But even going by appearances alone, I find I’m more likely to use a device if I like the look and feel of it, and that, albeit indirectly, leads to better photos. Inside this dial is another one, which does not control any function on the flash, being just a calculator to help determine the appropriate power level. Anyone who used flashes in the 80s will feel right at home, as the calculation principle is the same, playing with the variables aperture, ISO and distance to the subject. Actually, I didn’t pay much attention to it because after a few days of use, it became much faster just to use my intuition.Okay let’s get this out of the way: the Lux Senior looks cool. It clearly draws inspiration from the flash bulbs of yesteryear, but those bulbs had many downsides, foremost among which is that they were single-use. They also took a while to reach full power, and were too hot to handle for a while after they went off. I also thought I’d try a couple of “shutter drag” portraits, just for fun. Shutter drag, for the uninitiated, is a technique where you combine flash, slow shutter speed, and (typically) motion. The flash freezes the subject, while the slow ambient exposure creates blur or light-trails. For these two photos, I tweaked the settings to give myself a shutter speed of 1/4 sec, and then deliberately shook the camera during the exposure. ISO 100, f/13, 1/4 sec. Flash power: 1/4.

The lens was zoomed to the narrow end, which is 30mm in full-frame equivalent. The flash was always on-camera, with no modifiers. The camera’s white balance was set to Cloudy, though I made minor edits in post to tweak the colours and contrast to my taste. Out of curiosity, I tried using the Lux Senior off-camera in slave mode, positioned diagonally in relation to my son. I used the Lux Junior as a trigger at its minimum power of 1/64, and it worked flawlessly.

And I start by mentioning the opening operation of the reflector blades, which are not as smooth as you would expect, and which sometimes require two hands and a little patience. Using it indoors was just as I remembered it as a child, at birthday parties and family gatherings. Lighting conditions are no longer a concern, and despite its relatively low power, it was always more than enough for everyday use, regardless of the size of the room I was in and the distance to the subject.

Godox Lux Junior Retro Camera Flash Review with Digital Godox Lux Junior Retro Camera Flash Review with Digital

From the first emulsions on glass plates to the widespread use of film, the sensitivity of the support was extremely low, which required the use of a strong, instantaneous light source, which made it possible to capture the photograph in a fraction of a second. Surely everyone remembers having seen films in which the photographer holds a small tray with flash powder, which, when ignited, causes an intense explosion of light. For example, if a photographer wants to shoot from a distance of five feet from a subject with an ISO of 400, the dial lines up f/5.6 and 1/16 power. While it can be adjusted manually, the Lux Senior also has an Auto Mode that defaults to f/2.8 at ISO 100. Besides, as I found during my field test, people are intrigued by the Lux Senior. It looks vintage, non-threatening and interesting. That makes it a great hook, and if you’re asking random strangers to pose for a portrait, they are more likely to say yes. Dave (pictured below) asked me about the Godox flash; I asked if I could take his picture, and we ended up having a nice little chat about his lovely film Leica, tungsten films and street photography. ISO 250, f/5.6, 1/25 sec. Flash power: 1/64.For example, take Godox’s range of hot shoe speedlights, such as the V860 III. With this flash, a letter after the model denotes which system it’s compatible with: F for Fuji, C for Canon, N for Nikon, S for Sony, and O for Olympus and Panasonic. Each brand has different pins and software that communicate with the cameras and operate in TTL mode. The Lux Senior has manually adjustable power settings, from full power down to 1/64 in one-stop increments (Full, 1/2, 1/4 … 1/64). The photos in this article were shot at 1/64 power, except the “shutter drag” photos (see below) which were at 1/4. So I was clearly using only a fraction of the light output which this unit is capable of. And if I wanted more light, I could have also used a higher ISO or wider aperture (I was shooting at a modest ISO 100-250 and f/5.6-13). It is not powered by alkaline batteries but by its internal lithium battery, capable of 150 shots at full power. Charging is via a USB-C cable (included in the box). This last part has been mentioned in other publications, and I’m on the fence on it. While it would be nice to have TTL and high-speed sync, it’s important to note that this is a budget, retro-designed flash. Its simplicity is a selling point, and a way to keep costs down. It can produce the right results when used in the appropriate conditions. And it’s USB-C rechargeable, so there’s no fumbling around to find the batteries for it in your drawer full of spares. It’s an incredibly good conversation starter and will give you a solid appreciation for the struggles that film-era photographers would go through daily.
