This is a BALCAR Amber Pyrex Shell for BALCAR A-Series studio flash heads. Designed to protect the flash tube and modeling lamp, this Pyrex shell has an amber coating that reduces the color temperature output of the standard flash tube to approximately 3200K for use with Type B films. In the digital lingo of the 21st century that equates to ‘tungsten’ balance. Using this cover with daylight color balance will produce a super-warm, sunset toned image.
The measurements of this Pyrex Shell most closely matches the data in our 1991 TEKNO/BALCAR price list indicating compatibility “For all Z heads”. The measured specifications for length and diameter are listed below. The 1991 pricing listed this item for $79 each. An online inflation calculator shows the 2017 price at $143.39. Any way you look at it, our price is much better. This is a new old stock item and ships in the original cardboard packaging.
