Reccomendation of Quantum T2 or X2 Flash Unit

[toeknee]

I have decided upon the Quantum Q Flash, but am unsure whether I can

afford, or need the X2. The T2 seems to be in my current price range,

but am soliciting advice on whether to wait and save or purchase now.

 

I have a bracket, and am planning on using the flash with my Bronica

SQ-AI (and perhaps my Nikon as well) for weddings and some

portraiture. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

In addition, thanks to everyone for an informative, and entertaining

site.

If you already have Quantum Turbo or Turbo Z batteries stick with

the T2. If you already have Lumadyne or Norman 400 w/s battery

systems then get the X2. That is the prime if not the sole

difference.

Tony,

 

The X2 also has a (not so bright) modeling light. I have several T's and T2's, and I have never missed the modeling light. The Turbos seem to be lighter and easier to carry than any of the X2 batteries. I have also never missed the power available with the X2.
