Zoom Range: 24-105mm (16mm with Panel). Compatible with Canon E-TTL ; E-TTL II. Guide Number: 131' at ISO 100 and 105mm. Color: black.
Pros
- - compact: 85 x 85 x 61 mm (several times smaller than the Canon 580EXII) - powerful: guide number 40 (105mm) and 27 (24mm) - fast recycle time: 0.1-4 sec, depending on flash output and battery quality - relatively light: 203 gr. + 4 AA batteries (120 gr.) - AF illuminator 0.7-5 m. - automatic or manual zoom (24-105mm) with indicator - the head rotates in all directions, both horizontally + -180 degrees, and vertically 0-90 degrees. - Supports E-TTL/E-TTL II synchronization protocols - Slave TTL, Slave Digital (SD), Slave Analog (SF) modes. - Front and rear curtain sync. - High-speed sync allows you to work in aperture priority mode at short and long shutter speeds. In this case, shutter speeds are set by the camera from a few seconds to ten-thousandths. - can work remotely in various modes, both in the first flash and in the second - there is a video backlight mode with 9-step brightness control. - convenient 2 wheels for controlling modes, power and flash exposure compensation - you can control the flash modes from the camera (5DM2) - despite its compact size, it is powered by 4 AA batteries, i. E. rate of fire is high. I did not feel much difference from the 580th. - Durable metal hot shoe and quick release button - convenient built-in wide-angle diffuser and reflector for sparkle in the eyes - outer diffuser cover included (16mm) - convenient compact case on a belt
Cons
- - on the Canon 5DMII camera, unlike the native one, there is no control as a leader and power bracketing does not work - in manual mode "M" the pulse power setting step is - 1st stage 1/2, 1/4 -1/256, I would like to be more precise - after turning off the flash, the settings are not saved - only 4 steps of head installation 24-50-80-105 - no indication of battery level - video light mode is quite frail, but better than nothing at all - expensive: offers on the market 14,500 -16,500.
Pros
- 1) Price 2) Dimensions and weight! 3) Functionality. (compare specifications) 4) Optional video light. (used both as a video and as a flashlight) 5) Head view 360/90 - all available hemisphere, any position 6) Control both from the camera and in manual mode.
Cons
- 1) Once it hung during mode switching and hard operation, opened / closed the battery compartment and everything is OK. The problem is very rare. 2) does not save the settings when controlled from the camera when the power is turned off . over time, it even became a plus. Installed, turned on, and set up from scratch.
