Review 1 of 2

Summary:

I'm a working wedding photographer. On location the flash overheated on a regular basis. When that happens it just shuts off on it's own and nothing happens for a while. After getting serviced it several times I gave up on it. Big dissapointment !

Strengths:

dedicated TTL for Hasselblad cameras,
round reflector

Weaknesses:

Bad design, in my opinion it's not suitable
for professional type
of work.

Customer Service:

At Hasselblad (unofficially ) I was told the flash wasn't designed for weddings!? So then what is it for?
