F/1.0

For all of us “Strobist” folks using off camera flash, life will soon get a lot more interesting.  Most likely you ahve heard of these mystical devices called “RadioPoppers” designed to provide TTL flash functionality via RF signal (rather than the limiting optical signal transmission they normally rely on).  Many dismissed them as vaporware, but it seems they are finally materializing. According to the radiopopper blog, FCC approval has been granted and the actual first production batch is manufactured!  Some folks (including David Hobby of Strobist) have already gotten to play with the actual units. 

Color me excited.  I’m all about the manual off-camera flash, but having the option for RF based TTL is just too cool to pass up and opens up a bunch of possibilities (including non-line-of-sight high speed sync)  Pretty cool stuff.
