Affordable P-TTL flash

gardendude from CA, Dec 21, 2009

Provides swivel and bounce at a compact size.Has a zoom motor that automatically adjusts to the Focal length of lens attached (for AF lenses), albeit only a little noisy.Has 2nd curtain flash sync and has lower power (1/2, 1/4) settings for manual operation.It even has an optical slave function to compromise the lack of wireless function built into OEM Pentax flashes.This is the most affordable among those made by Tumax compared to Rokinon and Vivitar or Digital Concepts.It also has a built-in diffuser which you can pull out anytime you need it instead of bringing along a pop-on diffuser. Along with the built-in diffuser is a built-in bounce card too.Good buy for me and hoping it will last.Only time will tell.

Excellent value

moebiusstreet from Smarter than the average bear, Dec 3, 2009

The most significant thing about this flash is the bang for the buck. Another flash with comparable features is going to cost you 2x-3x times more.Its performance is fair but not stellar. When used directly, with or without the diffuser, it produces a well-exposed image. So the metering and focus seems to be fine. However, when bouncing off the ceiling, the results were underexposed. This may be a simple matter of learning to work with the thing.The focusing mechanism is a bit on the slow side, and a bit noisy. Compared to my camera itself, it takes somewhat longer to focus, and is noticeably noisier. So don't plan on sneaking up on anyone with it.It comes without a case, or any kind of protection for its electrical contacts. I suppose that the diffuser counts as a sort of protection for the flash itself.So you're not getting a Cadillac here. You're getting something that functions competently, and doesn't expend money on accessories. But that's completely to be expected at this price point. Considering its price, I can't imagine how you could do better.For someone on a budget (which is tough in the world of photography), or just starting out and wanting to get their feet wet first, this seems like a good choice.
