New Westcott FJ100 M 100Ws Multi-Brand Touchscreen Speedlight


Westcott FJ100 M 100Ws Multi-Brand Touchscreen Speedlight: B&H Photo / Amazon

Filled with reliable features, the FJ100 M 100Ws Multi-Brand Touchscreen Speedlight from Westcott offers more power in a smaller body than the previous FJ80 II and becomes their most compact speedlight. Enjoy cross-brand compatibility thanks to the flash’s hot shoe compatible with Canon, Nikon, FUJIFILM, Panasonic Lumix, and Olympus cameras. Use it as an on-camera flash, transmitter, or off-camera flash. Not only an intuitive touchscreen, but LED group indicators facilitate multi-light setups to help photographers of all levels of experience. The FJ100 M speedlight has a manual/automatic zoom of 24-200mm to optimize the beam angle to your lens. Along with this, the flash’s round head tilts 90° and rotates a full 360° for bounce and precise positioning that ensures the light falls exactly where you need it. Aimed at wedding, event, and portrait photographers, the FJ100 M means 100Ws of portable lighting power. It comes with a convenient FJ Mini AC/DC rechargeable battery that delivers 575+ full-power flashes.

Capture Every Moment
The FJ100 M offers 9-stop power range (.78 – 100Ws) in 0.1- and 1-stop increments, recycles in 0.01 to 1.6 seconds, and is capable of 60 fps (camera dependent). Think of TTL, manual, and freeze sync, and stroboscopic capability. It also supports high-speed sync up to 1/8000 second as well as front and rear curtain sync. The ideal flash for wedding, event, and on-location photographers in need of precision and reliable battery performance in a portable flash body.

Consistency
Its round Omega flash tube produces smooth, even light with natural-looking falloff that works great for portraits, weddings, and events. A 3W LED modeling lamp is available to provide continuous illumination with independent brightness control and auto-adjust functionality. From fast-paced events to creative portraits, the FJ100 M’s accurate color remains consistent across the full power range.

Multi-Brand Capability & 2.4 GHz Transceiver
One of the FJ100 M speedlight’s features is its convenient multi-brand TTL compatibility. The flash is compatible with most Canon, Nikon, Sony (manual mode/with an optional adapter), FUJIFILM, Panasonic Lumix, and Olympus cameras, while its integrated 2.4 GHz transceiver allows on-camera use as both a flash and transmitter or off-camera positioning as a wireless client flash.

Intuitive Control
The flash’s high-resolution LED touchscreen enables clear settings management right from the light, avoiding complicated menus. Quickly adjust flash power, zoom, wireless settings, and creative modes. 2.4 GHz wireless communication allows control of up to 16 groups across 31 channels from up to 328′, while color-coded LED group indicators make multi-light setups easy to identify. Set the way flash power is displayed (in stops or fractions) to best suit your workflow.

FJ Wireless System Integration
Seamless integration with the FJ wireless system allows you to easily expand from a single unit to a complete multi-light setup. Use the free Westcott StudioLink app with a separately available FJ wireless trigger to remotely adjust settings, control lights, and unlock advanced features directly from your smartphone.

USB-C Rechargeable FJ Mini AC/DC Battery
Just as the separately available FJ100 strobe model, the FJ100 M speedlight runs on a removable 7.4V, 23.38Wh, 3200mAh AC/DC lithium-ion battery (included). Here, the battery will give you 575+ full power flashes on a 2.3-hour charge. The included FJ Mini battery has LED status indicators to keep you apprised of remaining power. If you need extra runtime, charge or power the FJ100 M via USB-C without interrupting your workflow. The shared FJ100 battery compatibility eliminates the need for multiple power solutions.

Twist Lock & Mounting
Easily adapt the FJ100 M to different creative styles and achieve versatile light-shaping results thanks to Twist Lock mount modifier compatibility. It works with optional barndoors, reflector, snoot, and more. You can also combine it with the separately available Westcott S-Bracket 2 for compatibility with Bowens-mount softboxes and light modifiers up to 1 lb. Mount the FJ100 M off-camera via its built-in shoe or opt for the included mini stand with a 1/4″-20 threaded receiver for quick setup on an optional light stand.

Built to Keep Up
The unit’s intelligent self-monitoring heat protection enables up to 100 consecutive full-power flashes so you keep shooting through demanding weddings, events, and portrait sessions. The FJ100 M has a passive cooling system with multi-stage heat protection, and it supports IGBT+ technology to enhance camera compatibility and flash performance. Finally, firmware updates via a USB-C data port enable the speedlight to receive the latest improvements and features.

Venus Optics Laowa Aksen 45mm f/2.8 1-5x & 17.5mm f/1.7 5-10x Parfocal Ultra Macro APO


Venus Optics announced the Laowa Aksen 45mm f/2.8 1-5x & 17.5mm f/1.7 5-10x Parfocal Ultra Macro APO, which can be purchased directly or through B&H Photo below:

Venus Optics Laowa Aksen 45mm f/2.8 1-5x Ultra Macro APO Lens
Create extreme close-ups in tack-sharp detail with the Laowa Aksen 45mm f/2.8 1-5x Ultra Macro APO Lens from Venus Optics. This compact ultra macro lens boasts a 1:1 to 5:1 magnification ratio, allowing you to photograph subjects larger than life. It offers a fixed 1.6″ working distance from the front of the lens and maintains sharp focus throughout the magnification range thanks to the internal parfocal zoom design. Thanks to the compact form factor, this lens is easy to use whether shooting handheld or on a motorized focus stacking rig.

Apochromatic Correction
The Aksen series is engineered to eliminate chromatic aberration, even at higher magnifications. The apochromatic correction effectively prevents color fringing, allowing you to capture more details and texture without distortion in your final image.

Parfocal Internal Zoom
Adjust your magnification without moving your camera or subject thanks to the innovative parfocal zoom design. The Aksen maintains sharp focus across the entire magnification range, while the internal zoom allows you to shift magnification without disturbing your lights or hitting your subject. Because the weight distribution also remains identical, this lens is ideal for videography as well as macro photography. Exposure changes are the only thing that needs to be compensated for as you magnify your subject.

Additional Details

  • Eleven-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing focus falloff when using shallow depth of field.
  • Standard focal length benefits the high magnification design by providing greater depth of field compared to telephoto or long lens designs.
  • When adapting the Aksen to medium format cameras, there will be varying levels of vignetting depending on the magnification.
  • Lightweight physical design makes the lens easier to use handheld and offers more room for illuminating subjects.

It offers a fixed 0.9″ working distance from the front of the lens and maintains sharp focus throughout the magnification range thanks to the internal parfocal zoom design.
