I wanted to experiment with a ring flash... and I read the reviews and bought this one... Its light, and feels cheap... the hotshoe is plastic... but it does the job, and does it well... I have NO complaints... I've used it a ton... and found that I LOVE using it all the time... I'm always tempted to leave it on for random candids... it gives a cool flat look on multidimensional scenes, that has left alot of people wondering how I did it... I would buy this again and again!!! If it were a little better constructed it would be an automatic 5+ from me... but you won't regret buying it... I know I don't... and I'm usually a harsh critic.

Very light and compact flash that really serves its purpose well. Great for macros and portraits. Bang for the buck. I would say that this would be better than the ring flash adapters out there that is about the same price as this ring flash. Recycle time is almost instantaneous. Worth every cent.

Day one out the box, the flash work's way past my expectations. Build quality is u pay for u get, its very light. But performance is great, it makes a big difference as opposed to using a diffused 430ex. Shadows are really soft, with that ring light halo. Working distance is macro distance, I would'nt be using this for portraiture although i could. U cant change the power manually its ttl/ttl2, only thing on the back is a power switch, test flash button and 2 led lights. Recycle times are fast except shooting f18 and up. Will update the review another 3 months.
Also! batteries using are energizer 2500mah rechargable.
