And with those flash bulbs, because of the
long output duration, one has a method for outdoor
fill flash without the thousand or so dollars
needed for expensive strobes & high-speed X sync
bodies. And, in thrift shops, I get packages of
a dozen bulbs for 90 cents frequently. (Haven't
done anythign with them yet, but I've got 'em!)
Just get out the old MX or KX & shoot those portraits at 1/500 with ease!
(Sometimes the Luddites get the job done better!)

PS. They're also fun for science "experiments".
Give your 10-year-old a bulb, AA battery, and 2 wires. It was loads of fun.

But Mafud _always_ carries his old Graflex Strobe and a box of type F
blue flashbulbs... now he can flash without power (providing he has a
crank-type generator for ignitting the flashbulb) ;-)
Good light,
