• Information:

  Brand new to the Australian Market, Fomex Studio Flashes are what many have been waiting for. A high performance Studio Monobloc Flash that rivals the more well known European and American brands, but at a much better price.

  Fomex Flashes are made of the highest quality materials and components, this is evident in its use of Die-Cast Aluminium Alloy housing, European made Xenon flash tubes and Japanese made capacitors. This high manufacturing benchmark is  standard for all of Fomex's products. Great care has been taken during the design and manufacturing stage to produce a product that can withstand the day to day operations within a professional studio environment and of course on location.

  Fomex have recently introduced the D Series and HD Series range of flashes into Australia. The D Series feature a 250 compact tungsten modelling lamp, whereas the HD Series feature an extremely bright 1000 watt quartz tungsten modelling lamp.

  Fomex Flashes utilises the popular Bowens S-Type adaptor for its accessories and softboxes. There are literally hundreds of products made by dozens of manufacturers that share the same adaptor type. Gives you one more reason to switch to Fomex.

  Established in 1992, Fomex is a leader within its own domestic market for photographic flash equipment. They were the first to introduce digital microprocessor controlled strobes and currently hold a number of industry leading design patents. Since 2006 they have embarked on a worldwide push, expanding into Europe, America and Australia.

  Light Shapers:

  Fomex manufactures a range of high quality light shaping accessories for your Fomex D and HD series flashes. They are made of the highest quality materials, and are designed to be used every day in busy studio environments. Below is just a selection of the range they offer. Please contact us for a price list, you'll be surprised at how affordable they are.

  For those curious about the light quality, the photographs were taken by me, using the following Fomex Equipment.

  • D600 with 77cm Beauty Dish (bottom right).
  • D600 with Snoot (middle right)
  • D400 with 60x90cm Softbox (See other auction).
  • D400 with Standard Reflector + 20 Degree Honeycomb Attachment (top left)+ Barndoors (bottom left).

  Images were processed in Photshop CS3, and would you believe the only adjustment was to make the contrast curve linear (the camera had set it to medium)? There was nothing else we had to do other than put a watermark on it. *Please note these images were processed on a colour calibrated monitor, and may appear different on non-calibrated screens (whites may seem tinted).

About Us:

We are a new photographic equipment retailer based in Richmond, Victoria. Everything we sell on eBay and online we use in our own professional studio hire and equipment rental facility. The feedback from these products have been overwhelmingly positive. And like many professionals including myself, there is always a degree of skepticism when a new product comes into the market. We have been putting the Fomex range through it's paces over the past 6 months and we are more than confident that it will perform as well as the more well known European and American Brands.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me. Otherwise visit our showroom in Richmond, VIC 3121 near the cnr of Victoria St and Church St (contact me to arrange an appointment). We the official Victorian resellers of Fomex and Benro Tripods (better known in the USA as Induro Tripods).

Some items are not normally stocked by either the reseller (us) and the supplier, such items have to be ordered directly from the manufacturer, this normally takes 3-4 weeks.
