As Craig mentioned above, the Manual mode works fine with a GN 40-45, but my Auto is also off a lot, but if I raise the ISO from 200 to 1,000 it is better.Distance scale is in meters only so you need to convert.It shoots to the blue side. Color meter says Manual is 6,200K. I cut a Roscoe #3410 1/8 CTO gel 1x2.5 and wrap and wedge it around the flashtube and it gets it down to 5,500K which is much better for me. I leave it loose inside the cover when folded up.Works well with a wireless Godox remote flash trigger. Too bad they left that part out. Optical triggering via S1/S2 switch outdoors in bright sun isn't too reliable and I found using wireless better.Build quality is very good overall and its leatherette covering matches most cameras. Compact. Battery ...

Recycle time ~2 seconds.Would like to see Godox make a folding fan of maybe 18-21 size for their AD200 or similar units for field use. Handy, very fast to open and close, and a nice soft light too.

I like it, great on my NIKON Zfc which has no flash.I like retro. I have the 50's flashbulb that 'looks' like this.Soon I will shoot it with Large Format, just because.I have the other cheaper one too!

The Godox Lux Senior Flash just came today, and I am impressed with the quality of it. USB-C charging is a plus, and it has an easy to use setup. Pop the bulb out and spin the reflector out, power up and you are ready to go.I tested it on a Minolta Autocord. It needs a PC cable and flash bracket for off-camera setup. The Minolta X-700, XD and Canon A-1 work just fine with the flash shoe on them all.I really have no negative comments about this flash.Looking forward to putting it to use now!

I received mine and promptly shot a wedding in an fairly compact space with film and digital. I also used my trusty Vivitar 283. I found the senior was a little less harsh and worked well enough with my wider focal lengths. I switched over to using it as a fill later in the evening and having a manual control dial on the back was easy to deal with quickly. I maybe only used a quarter of the battery, provided I was around the 1/32nd mark for most of 200 shots on my xpro-2, so not much power needed. Can't say the same for the xpro.In my case the auto meter seemed pretty accurate, but I'd add a half stop if I was using print film just as a precaution since it comes off as softer. Might just be me though.And the looks. I mean...just look at it. It's right at home on ... MoreI received mine and promptly shot a wedding in an fairly compact space with film and digital.

Might just be me though.And the looks. I mean...just look at it. It's right at home on my Ricohflex, Rolleiflex, or a lomo Diana. Folds up to a tiny pocketable block, built-in slave capabilities, came with a PC cord, I'm pretty happy with it.If you love bouncing flash, or need to light a larger space probably not for you, but close up wide lens group shots or as a dialable manual fill seems to be great.
In manual mode, my unit fires and registers very consistent results on my 2 flash meters. This is at all ratios and at full power, just barely misses its maximum spec GN (quite normal from past experience and other flash units). In the auto mode, my unit is very far off. My initial tests on digital cameras were very dim and radically underexposed. I needed to increase apertures by 2-3 stops to get proper exposures. My flash meters verified the behavior. I can dial in adjustments of my gear to match the flash behavior by chimping but I feel I couldn't trust it for film duties. I almost think I received a defective unit as I don't think it could be designed this far off. I haven't read of this behavior in other internet reviews so perhaps I received a dud? I've had ...

I've had excellent luck with other Godox rigs so I hope I can get this sorted as my intended duties were for vintage gear and film use.
Anyone who has been watching Godox over the past several years knows of the significant improvement in the design, fit and finish of their products.For example, the Lux Senior, a kind of mini-colander with a hotshoe, comes in a box worthy of a Leica. To my mind, this tells you something about the path Godox is on.But is the Lux but a toy or a flash worthy of serious consideration?It's no secret that people who inhabit the real world, rather than the photo studio, have a distinct aversion to other people sporting lethal looking cameras with lenses that resemble the business end of a howitzer. It doesn't encourage a rapport with them, and often kills any kind of momentary social bonding.That's where a Lux Senior can help. Which is to say that, when I approach ...

It doesn't encourage a rapport with them, and often kills any kind of momentary social bonding.That's where a Lux Senior can help. Which is to say that, when I approach people on the street with it mounted on my Ricoh GR or Fuji X-100F, often they suddenly want their picture taken. A small and unintimidating (and cute) package can do wonders for their enthusiastic co-operation. Think people with dogs.I've been testing mine for a few weeks now, so I can tell you about my experience with it.First, the Lux renders a much softer light than my fresnel-lensed flashes.. With a Guide Number of only 14, it produces less sharp shadows when subjects are close to a wall etc, and tends to let the background stay darker when they aren't. And the fact that it has a low guide number means it's easier to control that amount of light in the background. This can be a real problem shooting inside, because my other flashes tend to over-light a room, even when I reduce the flash output to say, 1/128 power. You only have 1-stop increments to play with, by the way,In addition, the Lux re-charges very quickly, which on the street can be a catastrophe as you wait for the green ready light to appear for a next shot. Note that it has an onboard lithium battery, but it's only 1700 mA hours - less than a single AA battery. It charges directly via a USB-C cable, so no separate charger to bring along.As for the flash power calculation dial on the body, it's much simpler to operate than the badly written manual would suggest. All you need to do is move one of the two concentric dials so that ISO and subject distance are lined up and then read the suggested flash power appropriate for an aperture you want. Dead simple.All-in-all, the Lux Senior is a nicely made, useful flash for street/outdoor shooters. It's small and discrete, cleverly designed, has an extremely fast recharge time between shots (i.e. green READY light appears), doesn't make an interior background look faintly thermonuclear, and generally gives pretty good results. The centre of the light is slightly brighter than its outer light circle, but this is acceptable. Just what I wanted.
It is hard to say enough about this flash. When I first saw it, I thought that it may be a gimmic and not worth much. But, I was immediately attracted to the form-factor and, on every other level, was I surprised.It starts with a quality finish. Just holding it folded up in your hands lets you feel the quality. The finish is beautiful and all the dials and moving parts line up nicely and work well.From there, the USB 3 charging port is nice and the process for unfolding the Hubble is simple and impresses everyone who sees it.Then there is performance - who would have thought!? This little flash puts out beautiful soft light, better than most of the other flashes I own. I have not been able to get it to work automatically with my XT-3 or my Hasselblad X1D II, ...

I have not been able to get it to work automatically with my XT-3 or my Hasselblad X1D II, but I use it manually and it is impressive. Impressive as in it lights up small rooms with ease.So what is there not to like? Nothing. The unfolding flash parabola is fragile and this is expected. But, it does impress everyone who sees it unfolded. The battery lasts a long long time - I haven't gotten to the end of it yet. It has become my go-to flash as it works so well and, well, it's cool.Well worth the price and the wait. Thank you, Godox.
This is a Godox Lux Senior Retro Camera Flash. If they had included Fun in its name it wouldn't need a review. I use it mounted alongside a full-size camera with a wide-normal pancake lens and people react with a smile. Battery life is OK, charges with any 5V USB, controls are definitely retro, results are pleasing.
I did not have high expectations for this flash partly because of its low price and partly because of its design (which I feared might be form over function). How wrong I was. It is very pleasant to use, creates good light and, best of all, has a fast refresh rate (when not on full power). I've used it on manual only and am extremely pleased with the results.
Just received my Lux Senior. Cool looking unit, and my lightmeter agrees with the markings on its exposure wheel.However I think buyers should be aware that the sync connection on the strobe is NOT a standard 3.5mm.I have about 10 such cables here, most of them Pocket Wizard brand, and none of them will fit in the Lux Senior's port, only the supplied cable will.This is disappointing for many reasons : the supplied cable isn't very long, and will limit which settings I'm able to use on my lastolite bracket - no easy way to connect a pocket wizard to the lux senior - gotta take special care of the supplied cable and make sure I always have it when using that strobe - and when it eventually fails as all sync cables do I don't know how I'll be able to get a ...

But if you're planning to use PC sync on older cameras, that non-standard cable is gonna be a serious nuisance.
