I'm an avid photographer but for now it's just a hobby. I wanted a new flash but put my entire inventory into high end lenses so I wouldn't need a flash but sometimes you just can't do without it. So I decided to buy this flash, not Nikon, as it costs 4 times less. This flash did everything I hoped it would and was great. If it has one downside it's that it only has one tilt stop point, which isn't always the right angle I'd prefer, but I'm working around that.
