Flash strobes

Osram is known for their flash devices featuring a swivel reflector, invented by german Hans-Friedrich Borchers, which is tiltable and splittable for direct and indirect flash at the same time, with a single flash bulb. It was then developed into the Vario reflector, which additionally allows to ”zoom“ the flash angle to match the picture angle of 28, 40 or 85 mm lenses.
