Questions & Answers

Shopper : will it work on the Lumix DMC-LX 100?RALPH C : It should. You have to set the camera to match the auto mode you choose on the flash, so if you're used to doing that with older cameras you should be fine. I'm not really familiar with the camera, but it does have manual shutter and aperture control, correct?ERIC L : It wouldn't be ideal. The flash is more suitable for film cameras. It has a limited ISO range (25-800). Even in this range, it would be cumbersome to manually set the flash for each photo you take.ANDREW R : Works on most cameras that are equipped with a standard hotshoe. Unit does not have any camera specific dedicated features.

Love it

I prefer to use manual flashes like these at weddings and indoor events. This flash is very versatile with a great deal of manual settings, you can even set the focal length. One of the nicest features I have found is simply the lack of a battery cartridge, you load the batteries in the compartment just as you would in many TTL dedicated flashes. The Vivitar 285's had a cartridge that you put the batteries into then you loaded that into the body of a flash. Not good when you are on location and you lose/drop/break the cartridge - rendering the flash useless. Great full frame coverage on 1.6 crop bodies from 24-105mm. Long lasting, I shot candids at a wedding reception on set of batteries, no external battery pack needed. Comes with a sync cord, and the trigger voltage is reportedly safe (<6v) for mist dslr's.
