Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:more than 1 month
Pros:
Good product, very well made, good quality and solid material. Recycle time is great, and there isn’t any noise (I saw much more expensive flashes that make more noises then light). It is great flash for macro photography, or even close up portrait. Bigger distance requires bigger flash (and more money). Price for this flash is more than fair.
Cons:
On first sight battery door looks like a problem, but for now they work very well. Anyway, it would be better to be gentle with it. Second, light could be brighter. It do the job, but sometimes I can feel need for more power.
OtherThoughts:
Because it has led lights it won’t consume much battery power, but I still recommend some good batteries. I use Sanyo eneloop, and it works flawlessly.
Bottomline:
For someone who is interesting in macro photography this is must have. For anything else I recommend something more seriously.
Great MACRO flash.
