    I love this flash if it’s the only flash I’m using however it does not sync with the 430ex RT-III or 600 RT so it doesn’t help when it comes to off camera flash

    Love it. But just know it eats batteries really fast. I used regular alkaline. Maybe other types last longer?

    I just bought the flash and it is extremely impressive!! It is almost like I am cheating at flash photography!! Only thing in testing with aperture priority is you may have to do post processing but most of the shadows are eliminated.
