Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Very Pleased I am quite pleased with this flash. Integrates well with my Nikon D90. It does not function with Nikon's Creative Lighting System, but then it costs 1/4 the price of a NIKON SB-900. Plenty of power to bounce off walls and ceilings or use with a additional diffuser. The quality of your photos will improve significantly with almost any flash other than the small direct flash built into your camera. The manual and/or slave capabilities will allow off camera flash shots that will further improve your photography. That said, the slave funtion does not work well in outdoor situations where the ambient lighting is high. This is were the much more expensive NIKON SB series flash units will out perform this flash unit - remote wireless TTL flash control - I just can't understand why a flash unit SB-900) should cost more than half the cost of my D90 body. The D90 has significantly more electronic and mechanical technology than the SB900 and I'm sure the mfg'ing cost of the D90 is many times that of the SB900. Rating: - Great Flash, even better for the price Bought this after doing a lot of reviews and searching other flashes. This one seemed to be a pretty decent work horse (just for a slave) And is loaded with manual settings. Havent used it TOO much yet. but when i have its been prefect. It also works pretty flawlessly with my remote trigger i bought with it. Im very happy with my purchase.
