It was 25 years ago that LumiQuest came on the scene with its original product—the LumiQuest Pocket Bouncer. And it still remains one of the most popular LumiQuest products in the world. LumiQuest was co-founded in 1987 by Quest Couch and Heidi Kenny as a result of their Audio Visual Production company, which required Quest to be on-location shooting for clients. “This type of photography was fast-paced and required being prepared for a variety of different lighting situations,” Quest explains. “At the time, I often carried several Vivitar 283s and their metal bracket with a bounce card, which was bulky and cumbersome to pack”.

The company has developed a small compact Kit that is said to be perfect for the photographer just getting into the field or the photographer that wants to start using flash and flash modifiers but isn’t sure what to purchase.

LumiQuest packaging now features Microsoft Tags that will allow photographers to scan the Tags from their smart phone to instantly view a product video, tutorial or receive other pertinent information to help them select the right LumiQuest product for their application.

In announcing the use of Microsoft Tags, Quest Couch, CEO and designer of the LumiQuest products, stated, “Smart phones are becoming essential tools enabling all of us to work more efficiently. By adding Tags on our packaging we are empowering photographers to connect seamlessly to product videos and get instant access to understanding the benefits of the LumiQuest product they are considering purchasing.”

Panasonic announced the addition of a new single focal length lens, the LUMIX G 20mm / F1.7 II ASPH (H-H020A) featuring a new metallic profile in the Micro Four Thirds standard. It boasts dramatic compactness and light weight despite its f/1.7 aperture that enables beautiful soft focus in the background, allowing the subject to stand out impressively.
