"Studio" Model codes
There are several flash models of the Osram "Studio" range which share a model code. I'm currently trying to figure it out.
IF YOU FIND ERRORS OR FIND SOMETHING OUT: Please correct it! I also suggest to build a (combined?) table for a better overview.
All flash guns feature the "Vario" reflector: it is tiltable and splittable for direct and indirect flash at the same time!
"Auto Check" LED: flash is being computer throttled (instead of manual mode or full power)
Flash guns of standard type
X NNN ▲ ▲ │ │ │ └─ number code guide number × 10; e.g. 300 = GN 30 @ 100 ASA, 40 mm └── letter code, see below
Letters can be:
- C = Computer?; computer controlled
- V = Vario reflector; like above + zoomable (28 mm, 40 mm and 85 mm settings)
- VM = Vario + Multi Control; integrated flash light meter (according to manual of VM 300 Studio)
- VS = Vario + SCA; TTL metering via SCA 300 adapter (according to print on devices)
Numbers can be (at least):
- 180
- 250
- 280
- 281 – reflector is skewed forward, only VS or VM
- 300 – reflector can also be turned sideways, only VS or VM.
- 320 – only C
Flash guns of servo type
X NN ▲ ▲ │ │ │ └─ number code guide number; e.g. 44 = GN 44 @ 100 ASA, 40 mm └── letter code, see below
Letters can be:
- S = Servo, works as servo flash only and has no Vario reflector
- BCS = B____? Computer? Servo; computer controlled and works as servo (slave) flash
Numbers can be (at least):
- 18 – only S
- 25 – only BCS afaik
- 28 – only BCS afaik
- 32, 320 – only BCS afaik
- 44, 440 – "on a stick", reflector can also be turned sideways, only BCS afaik
