Metz MZ 20220 20 C-2 Automatic Flash with Tilt Reflector


Flash is OK for fill or direct flash. Bounce is a bit iffy, I need to open more than the rated f number.

Construction is OK, the flash head pivot up but feels a bit flimsy. The GN is a bit low for the class, the Metz 28 has GN of 22 covering the same 35mm focal length angle.

If you're looking for small flash that bounce then this is the only game in town IMHO. Not a bad flash, a bit above average due to the bounce feature.

Adorama - Rokunar AR14 Manual Flash Unit with PC Cord


Plenty of power, It makes my Canon S5-IS able to shoot groups at 15 feet and greater. This is the reason I chose Canon over Fuji (my usual choice). Fuji does not see the need to offer a hot shoe on a point and shoot camera! If you dont have a lot of money to spend or you simply need an economical , easy to use flash unit; I recommend this one.

KF2U 2-Light Thrifty Umbrella Flash Kit


While there is no ability to adjust the flash intensity, this is still a very useful lighting set due to the low investment needed to purchase it. An additional recommendation is the quick response and shipping. I chose the standard shipping option and was amazed to have it at my front door only four days later.

Olympus FR-1 Flash Adapter Ring (required w/ 50mm f2 Macro Lens & RF/TF Flash Sets)


I use this adapter ring to attach my Olympus twin flash unit. I use it for taking macro shots. It works well but the attachment to the Olympus 50mm macro lens is imprecise. It is mostly a friction fit and it is easy to misalign it to the lens. It also is not adaptable to fit other lenses I might use it on. It is pretty much purpose built for the Olympus 50mm macro lens. Unfortunately it is the only adapter I could find for my twin flash unit. I took off one star for the imprecise fit to the lens.
