MF2 with optical snoot set up

[Ardy]

If you don’t mind me asking how much was the mf2 and snoot on Black Friday? Thinking I might wait until this years Black Friday

Hi Jerry, I paid A$749.00 (US$468.55) at todays exchange rate. Note it included the snoot.

The black friday deal was close to $180 off a bit more if you bought the muck stick and some batteries.

That’s pretty good, not in a rush anyways so that will give me incentive to wait a little

The MF3 will probably be out by then

Exactly! Maybe TTL that works with all not just RC would be a nice addition

I don’t blame you, when it works I’ll take it, when it doesn’t I go manual. I do like having the option though, I don’t always have the time to dial in quick enough. What would you like to see the next mini flash do? Or are you happy with the mf-2?

I use and MF1 and solely for snooting or as a back up, which came in handy back in 2022 when I was in Indonesia and one of my YS-D2s failed half way through my trip.

I'm quite happy with the MF1 to be honest, but I do like the opportunity to fire the MF2 remotely from another position to backlight etc., and that tempts me a lot

Yes the remote firing could be fun to play with, and I won’t complain with a brighter focus light. But content with the mf-1 for now unless I get a deal on the mf-2

Mostly I shoot manual but for blackwater where the subjects range from transparent goo to very reflective fish RC mode is awesome.
