Shoot INFRARED FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY with this excellent used Sunpak 622 Super Pro-System Flash with a modified 840nm IR Head, and a regular zoom head. So you can shoot regular flash and IR flash. The IR Head puts out a lot of power at 840 nanometers. I get about f/16 at 10 feet with ISO 400. Your exposure will depend upon your camera and how it was converted. (see sample photo taken with this set-up of people in costumes) LifePixel converted my camera to 830nm deep black and white infrared, which is one of their darkest filter conversions -- so you will probably get f/22 with other conversions. Use this set-up with your infrared converted digital camera, or a film camera with infrared film. When the flash goes off, all you see is a very very faint purplish glow that is hardly noticeable and lasts a fraction of a second. THIS IS VERY USEFUL FOR PHOTOGRAPHING EVENTS LIKE CONCERTS WHERE A FLASH WOULD ANNOY THE PERFORMERS. AND YOU CAN EVEN USE THIS SET-UP IN DAYLIGHT FOR INFRARED FLASH FILL. So if you photographed someone at a park -- the foliage would get that cool infrared look, and your subject would be illuminated with the infrared flash -- there are so many creative things you can accomplish! The flash takes 6 C size batteries (not included). Also included is a sync cord. Use the sync cord to trigger the flash, or you can attach a remote trigger. WHEN USING THE SYNC CORD - MAKE SURE TO USE A SOLD-SEPARATELY WEING-SAFE SYNC HOT SHOE TO HOT SHOE WITH PC -- this makes sure that if the trigger voltage on the Sunpak flash is too high for your camera, that the flash doesn't damage your camera circuitry.

Hi Dan, if still available can you please provide details about the IR modified 285? I use Rollei IR film. Thanks.
 
Hi, the 285 produces 720nm of infrared light. IR film is less sensitive than a digital camera converted to IR. So you would need to get a guide number based on the film and processing you were using. Shoot your test from 10 feet away from wide open to f/16, process, and see which f/stop works best. Now you can compute your guide number. The sunpak flash is probably 2 stops more powerful. So if f/4 looked good with the 285, then f/11 or perhaps f/16 would look good with the Sunk.
 
Thanks Dan. Not sure that the vivitar is powerful enough for my needs and the sunpak more than I want to spend. I'll give it some thought. Looks like mods you made yourself?
 
DM sent, but I kept writing "Rollei Dan" and got errors until I realized what I did wrong, ha ha
