Review 2 of 9

Price Paid: $84.00 from eBay

Summary:

This is a fantastic little flash. It runs on 4 AA's, and has bounce capability and a nifty wide adapter built in. I used in on a F80, and a FE2 and it just works great! I have a SB-28 for my F100, since my F100 doesn't have flash compensation built into the body like the F80 does. This is a must for serious flash users since it won't drain those expensive F80 lithiums like the built-in flash does.

Strengths:

Size, battery type, battery consumption, cost.

Weaknesses:

None

Similar Products Used:
