Questions & Answers

Sean S : I have an X-Pro 3. Is there something comparable to this that would work for me? Or could this be universally adapted?
qi m : hello, I have a Nikon D3200 and if this nissin ring flash is compatible or can be used in my camera? , thanks qiDAVID S : It should work fine. Attatching it to the lens requires the right diamter lens or adapter rings. It will fire and meter though.THOMAS M : Works on any Nikon camera with a hot shoe mount and TTL, but also in manual. You'll need a lens that will fit one of the many adapters provided. I have heard the D3200 has had some issue with other 3rd party flash equipment. Not aware of any issues with this unit, but if you buy it here you can always return it. A very flexible flash... I Love It!!!

Rated 5 out of 5

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.
