I too mistakenly believed that this model, listed as fitting the 420 model, would also fit my 420EX but it doesn't... Just a word to future purchasers: check your model number VERY carefully!

Studio Flash with Modeling Light:250 watt With free Soft Box


The light is OK, I have used it for several shooting sessions with only one slight problem. The ready beep died shortly after I started shooting with it. Minor aggrevation but it's there. I decided to keep the light in order to avoid the exchange hassles.

HOW EVER:
The lamp is advertised to come with a free softbox and I believe that is just a cheap come-on. Several emails to Adorama got me nothing.

QDC-900WA Digital Zoom Flash for Nikon


I've had this flash for about a month, taken a few hundred pictures with it, and have to say that it's a good value for the money so far. I've not used any of the latest Nikons (SB-800), but find this flash to be at least as capable on my D80 as my old SB-28 was on my film N80.

Build quality: good. There is a little bit of slop in the rotating and tilting head mechanism, but no more so than my old Nikon flash. The switches and buttons are respectable and easy enough to operate with gloves. The diffuser attachment (oh I wish it were built-in like the SB-28's) is held in place with two smart little bumps that snap into two assembly screw recesses, so it won't easily be knocked off by my bag or jacket. The screw collar that locks the camera to the flash is slightly difficult to grab (it doesn't stick out very much), but that's probably better than having it too easy to turn and dropping the flash off the camera.

Electrical quality: fair. The flash works well, but whines a bit more than my old one. The zoom mechanism is also fairly noisy, with a slight but unpleasant click when it reaches the end of the zoom range (almost like a gear hopping a tooth). With a fresh pair of NiMH in this flash, I can shoot a couple frames per second at normal output levels. I've not observed the cycle time at 100% output, and have nothing to say about battery life (by old habit I swap in freshly-charged batteries before heading out with the camera).

Features: good. TTL works fabulously, of course, and the manual slave flash mode has proven itself useful (easily triggered with my D80's built-in flash, even set to -3 EV flash exposure compensation). I doubt I'll ever use the modeling flash mode, and rarely the multi-flash mode, but to each their own. The red focus assist lamp works well, allowing my D80 to focus in darkness (I was in a dark car at night). The ability to tilt the flash several degrees below horizontal has actually proven useful when taking impromptu near-macro close-ups.

Sto-Fen Omni-Bounce for the Minolta 5600HS Flash.


I have never used one of these before, but it seems to do ok. It softens the intensity of the flash, yet allows enough light for a good picture. It seems to work better for distances not exceeding 15 feet.

Sony HVL-F42AM High Power Digital Flash for Sony Alpha DSLR Cameras


This flash has really improved my indoor photos. I have been using the built in flash on my Sony A100, but this high powered flash gives me more control of the lighting. I like that I can adjust the flash to bounce the flash around where I want it. This is a needed tool for beginning photographers who need good quality indoor photos. Good quality for the price.

SUNPAK 035M 35mm Electronic Thyristor Auto Flash with 35-85mm Zoom


Unfortunately the photo on the page shows a shoe mount, but I overlooked the actual mounting type and purchased it. Since it was wrong I had to return it for a partial refund. I was purchasing this to replace a Sunpak flash I've had for years. It was an excellent product but gravity got the best of it one day.

Pentax AF 360 FGZ Flash for Pentax and Samsung Digital SLR Cameras (w/ case)


If you've got a Pentax dSLR, this is the flash you're looking for. I really agonized whether to go with a cheaper flash to use off camera with an optical slave triggered by the on camera flash, or go ahead and get the 360, which would provide me with more options, especially when used on camera. I'm very glad I went with the Pentax. So glad I ended up buying a second one. It's a good all around flash, easy to use, and obviously great to use in conjunction with your Pentax dSLR. When you have two, you can use one on camera to trigger the other off camera. Or use both off camera triggered by the on camera flash (put the 360s in Slave 2 mode if you have the K100D). They have a built in optical slave so you don't need to buy anything extra. Used on camera, you also have the option of very high speed sync. Cool! My only nitpick is the battery door doesn't close as firmly as I'd like, so you have to check it from time to time to make sure it's shut all the way. A battery meter would have been nice too. Other than that, no real complaints. It's a good flash for the money. If you plan on using it off camera a lot ("Strobist" style) you might want to get a cheap off camera radio sync system, like the Cactus triggers. But you don't need that right off the bat. Play around with triggering it optically and see if that works for you.

Good luck, and happy shooting.

Glad I found this attachment for my old Sunpak 433. First unit shipped from Adorama was missing the adapter bracket. Adorama quickly shipped a new one without hassle--THANKS!!!
