Thanks, Foy! Excellent review. I agree, it's a gorgeous light. And I think I can relate - I finally bought a TF ST-50 a month or so back for one reason only: I loved its looks. I had wanted one since I first saw a picture but I simply had no need for a SST-50 light so I held off until I found a deal that was too good to pass up. Now, I like it and in a way, I'm glad I bought it but I don't think I have used it for more than an hour tops. I do play with it from time to time but I won't even pretend it wasn't a waste of money. It's like the male equivalent of buying your 60th pair of shoes. :D
