The Elinchrom family of products keeps getting better and better. Those are some really exciting new products.

An Elinchrom Octa that accepts grids is HUGE!!!!!

That new Ranger Quanta is HUGE too! Or should I say "tiny", but HUGE news!

I know it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy about my decision to go with Elinchrom this time around! Some years ago I had a Bowens outfit. I was happy with it at the time, it's just that this time I decided to go with Elinchrom for their large range of accessories (and getting larger and more extensive all the time!).

Awwwwwwww, when will this stuff be available, an Octobox with a grid, whooooopeeeee, and folds like an umbrella-YAHOOOOOOOOO

The new light looks expensive, I'm guessing priced between the BX and RX maybe. My concern is that the light source is smaller, will that make it spotty for using with grids, sometimes bigger is better but we'll see. If it's lighter than the others that would be neat.

LED modeling light? I didn't know they were that good yet!

Since when has "Red Eye" been an issue with studio lighting?

I wonder if this means the old Ranger AS is going down in price?? also I wonder if the BX500 will be priced like the BX400 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Forkball: I think they are refering to an optical slave system that can skip pre-flashes from TTL units -like the Calumet Genesis and the Interfit EXD200-

wow... that's an awesome news from elinchrom... now i can't wait to go shopping again hehehe!!!

Oh... well clearly I need to go to bed and get some sleep. I was wondering what that meant. Thanks.

From my experience it is literally impossible to get red-eye with studio lights but if the new feature narrows the model's pupils and allows more of the iris' colour to show then it could be a very useful feature for beauty work.

wow these are great moves by elinchrom.

I've always loved the look of elinchrom boxes but absolutely need to use grids for most studio shots. The new boxes have the grid option and recessed edges...this is incredibly cool.

The 1100ws Ranger pack is usually too powerful for my taste....the new 400ws would probably be plenty of power for about 80% of the location photos that I'd usually take...that's definitely a nice move.

And two of my favorite elinchrom heads have always been the old el500 and el250 compacts...it looks like Elinchrom is paying homage to them in the 2 new heads. The built in skyport is first class feature. Without a doubt, the number one issue I have on location shoots is syncing...anytime a cable or attachment can be eliminated for syncing that helps to alleviate one potential problem (like a bad connection or static electricity etc) Anyhow, a built in skyport is just icing on the cake...very cool move

oooh....that LED daylight on the portable pack head sounds interesting...One of my complaints about the Ranger 1100 and freelites is that the model lights on the heads are pretty weak. They're adequate but weak...I wonder if Elinchrom solved this problem with the LED

Looks like some great new products, however, I cant see any indication of prices as yet. Not even from the main UK agent.

so- anyone venture a guess if we can swap the existing modeling light for the LED version on the D-series?
