3.0 out of 5 stars Not a bad buy, November 28, 2001

This flash is not a bad buy. It doesn't have a lot of features but it does the job. The only real problems I have with is that the head doesn't swivel and there are no markings to indicate the angle of tilt (for bounce flash). If you're just looking a separate flash to keep from using your camera flash and running down your batteries than this flash will do.

Flash went crazy, tried to fast recycle for no reason and fried itself on fifth picture of first use. Probably a fluke. Amazon is the fastest thing going for a refund. I don't have those first few pictures back to evaluate how good it was as a fill flash that I was using it for outside.

Had the same problem as second reviewer...it POPPED,FRIED, then smelt of burnt plastic/wires after less than 10 flashes. Sadly it was a gift, too. I'll be testing amazons RETURNS performance soon.
