Mint Flashbar 2 Review and Comparison for SX-70

My name is Li and I take photo for fun. Recently I've taken a liking to shooting on the vintage Polaroid SX-70 cameras, but using disposable flashes for indoor photos didn't sit well with me (it's unsustainable and expensive). So as anyone in my situation would, I picked up a Mint Flashbar 2 and played around with it for a bit. However, my feelings about the Mint Flashbar 2 are quite reserved: I understand the appeal of the portability but the light quality does not live up to the hype. The brightness of the Mint Flashbar 2 falls short of the vintage flashes by 1.3 to 2 stops of light and there is a blue color cast to the light as well. For the price that I paid, I would have expected much better. However, if you're comfortable living with these compromises, the Mint Flashbar 2 is a good, portable flash to have in a pinch. I have, on the otherhand, managed to find that there is a plethora of other electronic flashes, most of which were made in the 1970s and 1980s, which produce much better light than the Mint Flashbar II at the cost of portability; these old school flashes are indeed quite bulky. That is a trade off I'm more than willing to make, though. Some examples of these vintage electronic flashes are below. Google search links: Nissin SX-70 Flash (the one I use) https://bit.ly/3Apn4kN Polatronic 2350 (recommended often on forums) https://bit.ly/3AidKii ITT Magic Flash (common on ebay, but with mix reviews about durability) https://bit.ly/3OZLzbZ There are many more vintage electronic flashes out there and most of them are powered by standard AA batteries. When you're searching around though, make sure to do you're doing your research on which type of connectors are used on the specific flash you're looking for, as not all of the PCB connections are compatible with the old SX-70s (some of these flashes are designed specifically for the Polaroid Sonar cameras). Hopefully some of you out there can make use of this information and find a SX-70 flash that suits your needs. Happy shooting!
