Sunpak PZ 4000AF Flashes 

DESCRIPTION

Available for Nikon, Canon and Minolta systems, the PZ 4000AF brings Sunpak's reputation for quality, performance and value to auto zoom flashes. Features a motorized zoom head that automatically adjusts the flash to match the focal lengths of lenses from 28mm to 80mm. If preferred, the zoom head can be manually controlled at the press of a button. For creative bounce lighting control, the head can be adjusted to 90 degrees.

Strength:

Great pack, extremely well constructed. Lots of space, and it comes with plenty of dividers. I carry a Canon EoS 1D 3 lens, filters, two extra batterys, charger, and fire wire cable, and I still have room for 3 or more len's. San Antonio On-Site Truck Repair

Strength:

Excellent refresh rate. TTL. Cheap.

Weakness:

Mounts a little stiff on the shoe mount.

Excellent third party flash. I use this model on my Nikon Coolpix with a Stroboframe bracket. This addition to the Nikon Coolpix makes all the difference in the world compared to the piece of a flash that comes built into the camera.

Customer Service

Strength:

Strong, well built Supports a external battery pack True TTL Fare amount or features Works flawlessly on my Canons Auto zoom works great and you also zoom manual Powerfull GN @100 ISO

Weakness:

No swivel flash head NO high speed sync, only syncs up to your cameras highest flash shutter speed

Excellent third party flash. I use this flash on my Canon EOS cameras with a stroboframe bracket my photos come back excellent. TTL metering is right on. This flash is well built, dosent feel cheap. I like that you can use a battery pack with this flash. (I shoot weddings so this comes in handy for me). Never had a problem with under or overexposure like my Canon 420ex did. Lighted rear information panel which tells you everything you need to know. Flash balances well on camera or flash bracket, not to heavy. Powerfull flash for the money. Dosent have a swivel head or high speed sync but for 114.00 dollars I can live without that. Recommend to anyone searching for a low price high quality flash.

Strength:

Accurate flash output, TTL, bounce head, illuminated panel, distance scale

Weakness:

Manual is limited to 1/16 or full. No flash compensation, no AF illuminator, no swivel head.

Excellent third-party flash. If you can''t shell out the bucks for the name brand, you can''t go wrong with this model. TTL settings are quite accurate with my Nikons and zoom head and bounce ability rounds out a solid flash unit.

Customer Service

Initial unit''s zoom head jammed on rails and was permanently stuck. Sent it to TOCAD, and repairs took 3 weeks! Unit was replaced entirely.

Strength:

The flash is very accurate and easy to use. It has second-curtain synch and a handy lcd illuminator. The fact that it zooms according to your focal length is very useful.

Weakness:

Manual control is only full and 1/16.

My first PZ4000Af cost me around $96. I lost that and I was luck enough to get another for $80. Just on those two instances, I would say I have a winner. But that's not all. The flash is really useful and will give accurate flash bursts. It's a good flash to use if you would really rather shoot than fiddle around with controls. Luckily, it works as well if you choose to exercise control.

Customer Service

Haven't needed it.
