102 or 202VF
What's the story with these two. The 102's of course are dirt cheap, but from the spec pages that focusing ring on the 202vf looks pretty nify. How does it compare to the Profoto zoom reflectors?

If I had to do it all over again I'd go 202 units - quieter and you can focus them. More expensive though. Aug 17 08 12:56 pm Link Telephoto Studio wrote: Loud? As in the fan is loud? Aug 17 08 12:59 pm Link No debate at all. 202vf heads are superior. More compact, quieter, focusing ring/accessory attachment is much easier to use than 102,can get deeper into modifiers, larger flash tube, detachable head cable (less likely to wear/break in packing). That's a lot of reasons, there are others. Plus they look cooler than 102s. Aug 17 08 02:02 pm Link Max Bloom wrote: Yes, 102 fan is loud. 202 fan is quiet. Aug 17 08 04:13 pm Link Alright then. Still, can anyone comment on the adjustable reflector mount? How's it compare to Profoto? Aug 17 08 05:22 pm Link |
