    Don’t buy this flash. I used it maybe three times and it is completely dead. I tried everything to bring it back to life and there’s no way I can even tell how to fix it. I wish I didn’t waste my money.

    I think if you are only needing a flash for indoor and only a few feet away this flash will work fine for you. I did find it took okay pictures when close up, but it does feel cheaply made. I did return it to get a better sony model flash.

    Simple design. Its a step up from the built-in flash or as an alternative flash transmitter. Geared more towards for the casual shooter
