Strength:

Highly powerful flash with even lighting and bare bulb capability. Flash tube is user interchangable in case of disaster, and the auto exposure sensor can be calibrated by user to suit his or her own preferences, which is unique, as far as I know. Audio confirmation of exposure is useful and I have never exhausted a turbo batteries charge on a job despite the rapid charge time.

Weakness:

The first one I bought was a complete lemon. I don't know how I managed to find a store selling a dead flash and a dead battery to match, but I did. My current one has had no problems, so I put the experience down to bad luck.

I'm not keen on fiddly buttons. I find it too easy to switch modes by mistake, when all I want to do is change aperture.

First rate flash. If only they would get a photographer to help them redesign the display and exposure controls, as opposed to a computer nerd, it would be perfect!

Customer Service

Haven't tried it. After exchanging the lemon at the store I have had no problems.

Strength:

Studio Quality Lighting, Great Accessories, Great Service from Factory

Weakness:

NONE

Clearly the BEST Strobe, I've used outside of a studio and no more expensive than say a Nikon SB28. Pleanty of accesories, easy to use, and takes a lickin and keeps on tickin! Don't waste your time with the Sunpak or Metz Flashes, you will be very satified with the Quantum Q Flash T2. Their service department is very responsive and informative, a joy to work with. SIX STARS!!

Customer Service

Superb, others should follow example

Strength:

This is a powerful unit that is adaptable to all my camera systems. The bare bulb capability is worth the money alone.

Weakness:

It seems that the flash tube can be inserted incorrectly. The unit will not fire, but does not provide any other indication that there is a problem.

The Turbo batteries are heavy unit sometimes difficult to carry all day.

This is a high priced unit, capable of doing anything that the professional could need. It works well in all modes. I have several of these that I use with a Mamiya RB67, Fuji GA645zi and Nikon 35mm gear.

Customer Service

I have not had to have any of these usnits repaired. Other dealings with Quantum have been excellent.
