Sofirn has not had a good matte anodizing as far as I know. They recently have this new one (technically the anodization company they use) so they might want to use it. Maybe they are trying a new anodizing company? Who knows.
I say let this thread hibernate and let Sofirn go at their own pace, we had 4 new lights come out on the 14th. I’m busy!
Ok I’ll leave this thread alone,but I would have thought that letting the thread hibernate with no incoming chat would indicate to the manufacturer a drop in interest to the project.
You’ve definitely spent a lot of time on BLF, answering pretty much everyone’s questions about pretty much everything. It really helps, and is appreciated. But you definitely don’t have to do that… it seems like it’s practically a full-time job. It’s okay to just enjoy the hobby, instead of making it jobby.
Yes, they are getting closer on the SP70, but it should not go on sale this soon. I hope a sample light can be tested first. Maybe they will “presale” it? IDK.
Right now they are waiting for some anodized samples to come back of a flat or matte black finished SP70. They may go with this new finish. Have to wait and see.
Yeah, they might try to do a preorder during the Aliexpress anniversary. Nothing is confirmed, though. The light itself is still a ways from shipping.
It should also be available on their Amazon USA store.
I don’t know how I feel about a preorder. I guess most people don’t mind paying really early. I prefer paying closer to when the product is actually going to ship out. Maybe it won’t be such a long wait? I’ll try and find out.
Anyway, it’s a good sign. The SP70 is closer to release. :+1:
