One of the best offers, glad I bought it.

In general, a convenient flash, high-quality assembly, good and fast work, convenient autofocus illumination.
By the way, filters are attached to compensate for the color difference, they help with a bang, but you need to be ready to use them in advance. I was also pleased that the flash lasts for 500 or even 1000 operations, sometimes more from batteries alone. It was not possible to calculate how much she does, but with the number of more than 1900 shots, she managed, and the batteries were not completely discharged. Although at higher power settings, it can be discharged after 600-700 shots. True, it’s better not to be cheap, and buy good ones. Batteries are enough for about 300-700 operations and it sometimes gets infected from them more slowly. There are different modes of operation, including manual adjustment, which is also very convenient. Alas, for more than a year of operation, I have not tried the built-in radio synchronizer, since there is nothing. By TTL it works with a bang, group operation also works without a miss, both in the master mode and the slave. Well, of course, the range of work is also impressive, you can safely shoot at ISO 400 and at the same time it calmly covers 50 meters with an aperture of 8-11 and a shutter speed of 1/100 sec. at ISO 100 at shutter speed 1/100 and aperture 5.6. The declared 60 meters work out. Although it seems to me that it is able to illuminate even more, but so far I have not had to work in such conditions where it is necessary, usually everything rests on an area of ​​​​60 square meters. For a year and a half of operation, only positive feelings, happy with everything and everything suits.

Pros

1-Fast recycle (up to 5.5 seconds at full power, in my case 2-3 seconds, at average power less than one second, in most cases, less than a second or per second, withstand burst shooting at 6 frames per second ). 2-Easy operation. It is very easy to deal with it for someone who has never worked with a flash, easier than the 580th and previous ones. 3-Radio synchronizer, although there is still a limited choice, but it is already a good start for the future. 4- The number of operations on average is about 400-500, and with good batteries and with average power, it is enough for 1500-2022 operations, when the previous ones, including 580, have no more than 800. At maximum power, it is enough for 150-400 operations, depending on the quality of batteries or accumulators. True, when the batteries are discharged or the batteries become infected longer, but this usually indicates that the batteries have finally run out. 5-Omnidirectionality. The flash head can be rotated in any direction. 6-Built-in 14mm diffuser, reflective card and filters to compensate for incandescent lamps included. 7-Dust-moisture protection. 8-Protection against overheating. 9-Stroboscopic mode.
