“The old war horse u can rely on. I bought my Vivitar...”

★★★★★

written by zaheer sattar. on 20/03/2002

The old war horse u can rely on. I bought my Vivitar 285 Flash Gun 2nd hand when i was learning as an amateur. 12 years from now, camera models in and camera meodels out, I never have dared to discard it.The best SEMI AUTO NON TTL flash on earth ever. The latest built-in flash SLR models are bound to dis-appoint u in contrary to manufacturere's claims.285 is the answer when u are not in a position to spend for dedicated branded ttl flashgun. Perfect sync upto 1/250 secs. Priceless gift for purists.

I had one of these for years. Great tool for powerful night shooters.

"best SEMI AUTO NON TTL flash on earth ever"

.... yeah, right, as long as you avoid the non-HV version which can blow up your camera with high voltage, don't mind the lack of swivel, don't mind that it covers ISO only up to 400, and don't mind the foot braaking off. But at least it was an improvement on the 283, and is better than the built-in flash some cameras have - but then anything is faint praise indeed.

The 285 is still the most reliable and best all-round flash you can have in your kit.
