since nobody on the net or salespeople at 4 stores had tried this flash I decided that my wife should be the guinea pig. good results. 3 other parents in my sons wrestling class borrowed it and loved it. nice and light weight. powerful enough for most situations. no ,its not a 580 ex but its only [$] shipped. It did get rid of red eye and brightened up photo's considerably. we made a good purchase and now the rest of the web can too. distributed by omega satter.check their site too.not much info on this flash. its pretty new. ibet dual transistors mean faster recycle times.almost instant in program mode. more testing this weekend on times for manual mode. this is an add on to our initial review. my wife almost had the flash fall off a couple times. the lock ring is very hard to get locked with her little hands and even a bit of a challenge for me.i will have to buy her a little pliers to make sure the ring can be locked and unlocked properly. we almost asked for our money back ,but the flash itself is good enough to be a keeper.you just have to watch how you lock it in and have the 2 locking tabs line up when the flash is fully seated.
