Review 1 of 2

Price Paid: $123.00 from 2nd hand shop,Hong K

Summary:

I use it with IS-3000.

Strengths:

IVP flash. Precise explosure even on completely dark background without overexplose on people's face. This is far better than TTL alone. This alone worth 5 star. GN32/40(meter) is powerful enough for me. Rotatable head for bounce flash.

Weaknesses:

No remote TTL flash (neither use cable or not). No TTL multi flash. If they got it, I would buy several of them to play around with.

Similar Products Used:

Minolta 3500xi. Some Sunpak. Tumax.

Customer Service:

OK in Hong Kong.

Review 2 of 2

Price Paid: $150.00 from mail order

Summary:

If you''re in doubt: BUY IT NOW! It will be out of production i guess along with the IS. Completing the IS 3000 this flashgun is perfect for taking portraits! And considering that i''m a heavy user in that departement for two decades say''s it all. Bought it second hand.

Strengths:

Absolutely great for -high sync- portraits.

Weaknesses:

Well, not that i know of that are really relevant. The only gripe is that you can''t use a second one wireless, i''ve use the combination IS3000flash, G40 and several ir controlled miniguns. Fab!

Similar Products Used:

The likes of eos, metz and nikon guns.

Customer Service:

Not used, i''ve bought a second hand c/w 3 mths warrenty.
