Hello,

 

last week I remembered that I had an old Sunpak 120j in my cupboards. It appears that this flash is perfect for UV photography without any modification !!!!! :blink:

The standard set was sell with QF30 lamp. This lamp is totally uncoated !!

There is another optional lamp named QF30UV : this one is coated to stop UV and not the reverse.

 

I've tested with and without tube protection glass : no difference on result. The light is very nice and I use it with my two modified Nikon SB24.

Below, some samples with this set : Nikon D800 with Schott N-WG280 inside, Cambo Actus, EL nikkor 105mm and Baader U filter.

I suppose that it's possible to buy low price second hand Sunpak120j. And lamps are not discontinued.

Ps : I forgot to say that I use stacking method to increase depth of field, but it's not the subject of this post..

Gorgeous! I am starting to think about getting a flash. I'm tired of waiting 20 seconds in the sun for a picture.
