I have a pair of prototype Backscatter MF-1 strobes which came home with me from DEMA. One of the things I like most about the strobes is the narrow beam angle which is ideal for macro and super macro. The narrow beam allows you to separate subject from background making subjects pop. I feel like the strobes have more than ample power for my shooting style. The attached photos were taken with a Sony A7R IV with Sony FE 90mm F/2.8 macro in an Aquatica housing.
All shot at ISO100, at F/16 and 1/125th sec. The MF-1 has six power levels and all photos are at the 4 or 5 power level. The Scorpionfish eye was shot with the OS-1 snoot using the smallest hole of four using the oval aperture card.
