Leica Camera AG, Solms, presents a new flash unit combining the highest performance and system com- patibility in one high-end flash unit – the LEICA SF 58. The maximum guide number of 58 (ISO 100/21°) of the new flash unit enables high light output and of- fers ideal opportunities for indirect flash illumination thanks to its fully swivelling reflector. Its integrated, system-controlled secondary reflector maintains im- age brilliance and simultaneously lightens shadows and highlights. For photographers, this means more creative freedom in the use of light and more flexibil- ity, even under difficult lighting conditions. A diffuser for softer illumination, particularly recommended for portrait photography, is available as an optional ac- cessory.
The LEICA SF 58 is suitable for use with all Leica rangefinder and SLR cameras and can also be used with the new Leica S-system. The flash unit is spe- cifically dedicated for use with Leica system cameras and simplifies flash photography with each camera type. The LEICA SF 58 is equipped with an integrated USB port to allow convenient uploading of firmware updates. This feature ensures absolute compatibility with future generations of Leica cameras.
The LEICA SF 58 flash unit features a wide zoom range of 24–105 mm and an integrated wide-angle diffuser to extend the field of view by 18 mm. Depend- ing on the focal length of the lens in use and the sen- sor format, the flash reflector setting is automatically controlled and also features a manual adjustment option.
Thanks to its numerous technical features, the LEICA SF 58 enables photographers to capture profession- ally exposed images independent of any existing light- ing conditions. For instance, the unit features auto- matic functions such as TTL or automatic flash mode, as well as automatic fill-in flash. In addition, the new LEICA SF 58 offers a choice of two lighting profiles (Standard and Soft) that allow optimum adaptation to various lighting situations. High performance energy management guarantees flash photography at the highest speed and constancy, and at the same time an overheating protection function regulates the flash frequency when necessary.
Intuitive controls and a user-friendly operating con- cept ensure simple handling of the LEICA SF 58. All relevant parameters can be easily set with the four soft keys of the unit. The clearly structured, illumi- nated dot-matrix display allows photographers to concentrate on the essentials.
The LEICA SF 58 is available from authorised Leica dealers from April 2009. Product Code is 14488 and HKSRP $6,600.-
