from B&H Summary: Overall, a good value for the price paid. Bounce and zoom positions are very nice features. Most photo results were of good to acceptable exposure. Produced under-exposed results in a number of situations - seems unable to produce sufficient power output. This flash should please most beginners and some intermediates, but will leave others, including experts, wanting more. Strengths: Lightweight, bounce & zoom capabilities, multiple auto flash metering including TTL, good value for price Weaknesses: Insufficient lighting output in various modes. Poor/dark exposure when used with a 28mm lens without wide angle adapter [this flash is designed for focal lengths 35mm - 70mm]. Only 1 bounce position [60 deg]; wish it also had 30 and 45 deg positions. Flash does not feel sufficiently "solid." Conflicting info in owner's manual for correct TTL switch position for Minolta X series cameras. Similar Products Used: Sakar Customer Service: E-mail their customer service dept numerous times seeking purchase info for a 28mm wide angle adapter for this flash. Never received a single response. Extremely poor service. Keep this in mind before you purchase a Sunpak flash.
