Review 1 of 1

Price Paid:  $100.00

Summary:
This is a very compact yet quite powerful flash unit. Exposure is accurate. With bounce and swivel, it's actually quite versitile for its price. TTL operation is simple with my 645 and manual and auto operation is very simple too with the chart on the flash. Recycling is fast. Nothing is mentioned about off-camera operation in the instruction booklet and Pentax does not offer a "one-piece" off camera cord. I got a Promaster TTL off-camera cord (quite similar to the Canon Offshoe cord 2) and it works perfectly.

Strengths:
- Power - size - TTL, auto, manual operations and exposure are accurate. - bounce/swivel

Weaknesses:
- wide-angle and tele-adaptor need to be purchased seperately... (though I got my tele with the flash)

Similar Products Used:
This is my first Pentax flash, but I am using Canon Speedlite 550EX and 380EX.

Customer Service:
Never tried...
