Review 1 of 3

Price Paid:  $89.00 from KEH

Summary:
Exposures are right on with-in the flash range. TTL readings adjust the shutter speed to a slower speed to accommidate low light large group shots. Overall a great flash which could improve with more power.

Strengths:
Long battery Life Light Easy to use - Min controls (KISS)

Weaknesses:
Needs more punch and Bounce Head. Stands short on the flash mount and interfers with the built-in flash, so hard to use dual flash.

Strengths:
Small, compact, battery friendly, cycles quickly, very easy to use, Special contrat control mode that works with the camera's built in flash for 2:1 ratio that is great for portraits, Warns in subject is out of range

Weaknesses:
needs bounce head and a little more range
