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.)
