    Good Points: Great value flash had mine for over 10 years. Nothing has gone wrong with it. Solidly built, loads of accessories for it.

    Bad Points: None really,.

    General comments: Best none dedicated flash on the market. If you buy one also get the external sensor cord so you can use the flash off camera ie attached to a brolly to give soft light.

Soon I discovered that this flash is virtually of no use except for use as fill-in flash in daylight. After I got Vivitar 283 the quality of night photography changed dramatically.
