Paul C. Buff, Inc. Technical Forum

Ok, so i shoot action sports, snowboarding. I am going to buy the ab 800 soon due to the power and durations your other flashes don't offer.

Two questions

1. Is the ab 800 weather resistant like the elinchrom ranger? or is there any technique you could recommend to me too keep the bulb safe?

2. So @ full power t.1 the duration is 1/1100th. What are the t.1 durations at 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 ect....?

the durations will get longer at lower power. t.1 at minimum is 1/550. i do not have the individual setting t.1 times in fromt of me, but will in the morning. As power drops on analog lights, durations increase. If power and flash duration is an issue, you may want to consider Einstein.
