Hi All.
I bought the above a few months ago as a move up from using my speedlight. I have used it a few times and been happy enough with it. That said it did occur to me that although this is said to be nearly 3 times more powerful than my Canon 580 ex it doesnt feel like it is.
Again i'm a novice so maybe missing something obvious.
I'm attaching 2 images below which at the time I was not intending to take (I was doing something else) but it occurred to me that someone here maybe able to explain this to me.
So apologies for the under exposure and lack of sharpness. (rushed selfie) to demonstrate.
Both the images were taken on a tripod self timer. Flashes in softbox.
Am I right in thinking the AD200 should be a lot more brighter ?
Camera settings the same for each shutter 160th ap f9 iso 100 flashes in manual mode.
Image 1 was with the AD200 @ 1/4 +7
image 2 canon 580ex@ 1/4 +7 with wide angle diffuser down so 14mm zoom
