NEW Calumet Genesis Redefines Standard of Excellence For Entry-Level
Studio Lighting
Calumet Photographic invites the emerging photographer to enter the
world of studio lighting with the extremely affordable, and yet
sophisticated self-contained flash units. The Genesis 200w/s and 400w/s
monolights provide you with all the power and lighting control that you
will need to create professional-looking portraits and great still-life
tabletop photographs. They will provide you with recycling times as low
as one second. The Genesis flash units’ 5-volt sync voltage is even safe
for today’s digital cameras.
Flash operation has never been easier. The convenient rear control panel
of each Genesis puts their full range of flash controls at your finger
tips. Each model features digital, variable flash-output controls that
allow you to adjust power levels over a 5-stop range. You can switch
from full to proportional modeling with the press of a button. A
built-in infrared slave cell provides wireless flash synchronization and
it is adjustable to increase or decrease sensitivity, depending upon the
environment you are working in. An audible flash-ready alarm lets you
know when your Genesis is fully charged and ready to go.
Other notable features of the Genesis line include:
The Genesis 200 is a 200w/s monolight has a Guide Number of 125 (ft.)
and offers flash-output controls over a 5-stop range. It weighs just 4.2
lbs. The Genesis 400 is a 400w/s monolight has a Guide Number of 160
(ft.) and offers flash-output controls over a 5-stop range. Each Genesis
comes with an umbrella reflector, flash tube, 150w modeling lamp, sync
cord, power cord and a protective cap.

Photo Quote: Photography is a system of visual editing. At bottom, it is a matter of surrounding with a frame a portion of one's cone of vision, while standing in the right place at the right time. Like chess, or writing, it is a matter of choosing from among given possibilities, but in the case of photography the number of possibilities is not finite but infinite. - John Szarkowski
