Great

This is a great flash with one minor negative. It is super easy to set up even without reading instructions. It's the only one that will fit an 82mm thread. Menus are super easy to navigate. The only minor "negative" is that I wish it was stronger. Would be even better if maximal power was higher. Still, probably one of the very best out there.
