Strength:

Nearly everything.

Weakness:

Prices in europe, especially for reflectors.

Great light to shoot with: strongly built, small and flexible with Quantum's Turbo Batteries, easy to use and powerful. I used ti use some Elinchrom monolights erlier, but since I own my Qflashes, I never touched the monolights.

I like the Qflash (I also have three similiar Sunpak 120J flashes which give a fine light too, but are not as powerful and strong built like the Qflashes), especially used with Pocket Wizard and Sekonic 358 flashmeter with built-in radio transmitter. No wires, no big batteries, just a lightstand, a Qflash and lots of power.

Customer Service

Never needed since today..

Everything!!!

Weakness:

LCD info a little bit crowd for me (not a major complaint)

This is a superb flash with very good quality light: from direct light to bare bulb, the exposure is very accurate. However, the flash is not easy to store in a bag and carry around because of the reflector and the flash tube. I decide to leave it on my flash bracket all the time since I have to use it with my flash bracket anyway. The flash balances very well on my bracket. It's not very heavy and it's not as tall as my Metz 45. Since I have used a Quantum Turbo battery with my Canon and Vivitar flashes before, I am familiar with the charging speed and it certainly works very well with the Quantum T2 flash. Since I am using it with a 645 camera, the radially symmetric light coverage is a big advantage since I don't need to worry about the angle of coverage difference when I flip the camera 90 degrees on my bracket rotator. The only (very minor) complaint I have is the LCD screen interface. There are quite a lot of information on the screen, including the exposure confirmation info. However, you need to really read it to see it. I prefer a simpler "green light" style for the flash confiration since that's one (and usually the only) infor I always check during a busy shooting assignment. However, (as far as I know) no "green light" design will indicate you are getting too close and result in overexposed. Afterall, maybe I just need some time to get used to it.

Customer Service

Definitely first class!!! Their CS representatives are very knowledgeable and they respond e-mails really fast and they will answer your questions with solid answers!!

Strength:

Everything Ues Turbo and Turbo Z Batteries, and Lumedyne

Weakness:

non really

I find the Qflash to be the best Pro flash unit I have ever used. Try it with the bare buld enhancer gold and you never go back to regular flash again. It's a great flash for weddings and Fashion (etc,etc). And now Quantum has made it even better with the New Qflash T2D/w the QTTL adapters. Since I use Canon's EOS system I'm having my Qflash up graded to the T2D system with E-TTL flash metering. I also love the Turbo battery combo.

Customer Service

Replaced worn out cells from one of my Turbo and Quantum 1 batteries which took years to wear out Excellent C.S.

Strength:

BUILD QUALITY AND RELIABILITY AND ITS NOT THAT HEAVY. THE ABILITY TO CHANGE FLASH TUBE IF NEEDED AND ROUND REFLECTER.

Weakness:

SLIGHTLY BIG, BUT THAT IS EXPECTED FOR THE QUALITY.

BUY IT, I HAVE BEEN USING THIS FLASH FOR ALL MY WEDDINGS WITH EXCEPTIONAL RESULTS NO MATTER IF YOU USE MAN, AUTO OR TTL. IT REALLY GIVES A NICE EVEN LIGHT. MORE POWER THAN YOU NEED. I USE IT WITH MI HASSELBLAD 503CX AND I USE THE TURBO Z BATTERY AND IT WORKS FLAWLESS. IF YOU GET THE CHANCE RENT ONE AND ONCE YOU USE IT YOU GET ONE.

Customer Service

THOSE GUYS ARE EXCELLENT. THE NICEST PEOPLE I HAVE EVER TALKED TO REGARDING QUESTION ON THEIR PRODUCT AND SERVICE. I'VE YOU LEAVE A MESSAGE THEY WILL CALL YOU BACK.

Strength:

Rock solid dependability. Great service. Does exactly what you want it to do each time.

Weakness:

A bit big. Requires a Turbo or Turbo Z battery (great battery, but I wish for a smaller one for shorter shoots). Expensive (but worth it).

This is a really exceptional unit. Great, even lighting. Reliable TTL. More features than most of us need. Lots of power. Very useful accessories. Goes to bare bulb in a few seconds. Works on all major cameras. Common in rental shops if you need a second or third for a particular shoot.

Customer Service

Great.
