I recently purchased a pair of the new high-end, Italian ONEUW One160X strobes and used them everyday on a two-week road trip in South Australia to dive the magnificent jetties and revisit the incredible annual aggregation of Giant Australian Cuttlefish.

I was very impressed with them, so impressed in fact that I decided to do a first impressions review of the strobes.

Tried to be objective as possible and, again... I bought them myself.

I was wondering when someone would review these they certainly sound like great strobes!. Interested to see you had an Alfa years ago - I owned one for many years finally parting with it when parts became difficult to find, but had great fun driving it.
 
Backscatter: $1700. Each!! That said, your photos with them are indeed very nice! The Alfas are now back in the US, albeit with only a single model I believe.

Unrelated, I remember a double page spread ad in a magazine that showed an entire scrapyard of squashed Fiats. The tag line said "Fiat: designed on computer, built by robots, driven by Italians"!!

If I remember correctly Fiat rescued Chrysler going bust? The engineer that has designed this strobes used to work for seacom the strobes are basically a carbon copy

Some of the ergonomics are not the best and frankly could make it cheaper by producing a non TTL version. Who shoots TTL anyway???
