Super-Lite II Electronic Flash

The Asahi Pentax Super-Lite II is a compact easy-to-operate electronic flash unit produced with the same engineering skill that perfects the Asahi Pentax System of Photography. Light and compact, it simply attaches to your Asahi Pentax camera.

∙The angle of light distribution of most flash guns is designed to match the angle of the standard lens. The Super-Lite II is one of the widest-angle electronic flash units on the market today. Because of the specially designed curvature of the reflector, its angle of light distribution practically covers the angle of a 28mm super-wide-angle lens.

∙The Super-Lite II has a unique automatic light output stabilizer. The light output of many other electronic flash units considerably decreases as you keep flashing the units. This means you will have to open up your lens aperture. The light output of some units goes down to as much as one f/stop extent after 40 flashes. The light output stabilizer of the Super-Lite II constantly maintains its output at its maximum at each flash.

∙The Super-Lite II also operates on AC, powered by the AC Power Pack accessory.

∙The circuitry of the Super-Lite II is designed for economical power consumption. Pen-light batteries are inexpensive - and you will not waste the battery power.

∙The 1/2000 second flash duration of the

Super-Lite II is so short, you can capture practically anything you may like to photograph.

∙The recycling time (time interval between each flash) is short. You will be ready to follow fast actions if you act fast.

The Asahi Pentax Super-Lite II is a highly versatile electronic flash for Asahi Pentax enthusiasts - as ordinary flash - as bounce flash - as fill-in flash (when photographing back-lighted subjects.)
