They're cheaper from Lumix, but it's a hassle.

When you say 'better', do you mean 'for less' ? This French mfg sells most tubes for less than what the specific brands (as they are simply resellers) officially ask.

Oh, and for an idea about prices, they quoted me 158 Euros for each Acute 2/D4 bulb and 80 Euros for the frosted dome, minus a 19% discount for US buyers. But there's a 10-bulb minimum.

How often are you needing to replace pro for Pro 7B flash tubes? What are you doing that causes them to break regularly?

E-V;

I am replacing about every 2-3 years or so. I probably use the 7B about 175 days a year...200-1500 pops a day
