Hit it on the head.
I lurked here for about 2 years and joined up almost 3 years ago and at that time Zoomies were considered a “Toy, passing Fad, good for entertainment only” by the majority of members of stature.
Now given, a lot of those people have moved on, but now it is a Zoomie Lovefest!
Anyway, they’re all good on my book if they make ya happy:)
They also hated 2-3 cell lights because “Ya can’t trust 2 or more batteries in series, it’s the Devil’s Brew”
Then along came MT-G2’s and the like, and all of a sudden, Multiple cells are where it’s at.
Funny that.
Aspherics are my number one choice since my first days of flashaholism. I would like to see some inventions on this field and not just "slap it with bigger lenses for better performance", and downsize trend.
I imagine one day small pocket zoomie will have at least 500kcd throw performance. Zoomies are lights with biggest potential and they have incredible performance in certain light applications(like IR for example), and I can bet that some person like MEM will make extraordinary versions of them.
Ordered one from GB - coupon: JUNE15GB for 8% off. It's a sitewide coupon code, so they say, but for lights that already have a discount shown (not really a discount...), the coupon code will increase the price, maybe. The code works well for the X65 sinc'e it is not listed discounted now.
Ahh, the GBX65 code from the GearBest Specials thread here: https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/28604. I missed that - little better than the JUNE15GB code.
