Just got it yesterday no I dont have any pics yet I just felt the need to post my initial reaction which is HOLY CR*P!!! This thing is astonishing!! Will post pics here when the weather clears up
Nice! What do you like about it? How is the tint? Mine has excellent tint and being my first MK3 series light I like how well it can handle the turbo mode.
Its feed back like this that makes me prefer to get the SC600 MKIII vs SC63w. I know SC63w is smaller and lighter, but personally it won't replace my Olight S1 for EDC purposes. And it feels like a slight "waste" to get a higher power light if the PID kicks in pretty quickly. I'm totally trying to wait till the high CRI version comes out but tempted to just pick up the SC600w MKIII now..
Is there any way to justify getting this even if I already have a Nitecore MH20?

I gave away my MH20 to a brother, but kept the MH20 clip and put it on the ZebraLight Mklll. The clip keeps the light about .125 inch below pocket. The MH20 clip will prevent tail standing, but I rarely need this function.Well if you need a reason to justify buying a new light, you may not be quite as far gone as some of the rest of us So I'm not sure if my comments will help or not.
Personally, I think the SC600mk3 HI is better than the MH20 in every way (well, the MH20 has a better built-in charger...). So for me that's good enough. The Zebra is brighter, more intense, has a much cleaner tint, better regulation, better UI, and its much smaller. Here's a comparison photo for you:
Te be fair though, I never loved the MH20. When I need a "throwy" edc-able light with built-in charging I reach for that Manker. When I don't need the built-in charging I'll definitely be reaching for the new Zebra. The MH20 is just taking up room on the shelf.
If I prefer more flood than throw, would you recommend the normal MKIII instead of the HI version? I like my SC5w in the smoothness of the hotspot to spill. I'm starting to not prefer well defined hotspot that much nowadays...
