Question regarding Flash

[ShepsMom]

Anyone knows anything about Digital Concepts Sakar Power Zoom Flash 952AF?? I was trying to find info online but no available review :scratch
It's sitting here on my desk, brand new in the box, i'm thinking getting rid of it due to lack of the information about the product itself. If any of you have any experience, pleast let me know what you think about this one.:bow

Thanks for any info.

Marina,

Google is your friend - I found over 5 pages of links by searching for "Digital Concepts Sakar Power Zoom Flash 952AF"

Almost all of the links were folks wanting to sell this item. I could not find any real reviews of it, but reseller.ratings did not speak highly of it at all.


I think the Sigma flash is probably a much better known item for a similar price. In a manual, non ETTL style flash, the Vivitar 285HV is cheaper and mine seems to work very reliably.

I posted an exposure table with the Vivitar 285HV here (http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=70003)

It is an AUTO mode flash, but does not use any information from the camera - I use it strictly in Manual flash mode.

If I know the distance from the flash to subject, I just dial in the aperture needed, and adjust the shutter speed up or down ( keeping the shutter speed below the flash synch speed) as needed to balance with ambient lighting.
