Nissin i40s on A6000

This looks and reads like THE flash for the a6000. Anybody tried it yet?

I have the Nissin i40 flash on micro four thirds and is't a brilliant little unit.

I wrote a review of it here if you're interested : Nissin i40 Flash Review - DavidPartington.com

I cover what is different from the Canon/Nikon/MFT/Fuji/Sony variants (mainly remote support).

All in all I think it's an awesome little flash and since it's so small I can carry it with me almost all the time.

Looks like I made the right choice. I've been out of town for the holidays, I have one waiting for me when I get home.

Flash came Monday and it is perfect for this little camera.

It's tiny and very portable, and has features my very (expensive) high-end flashes have.
You really need to see comparison photos to see just how much smaller this flash is from a regular one, so I have posted several photos with this review, in addition to some hopefully helpful shots using the flash.

Yes, it has most of the features of an OEM flash at about 1/2 the size and cost. The only thing it is missing is that it can't operate as a flash commander which is a problem for the a6000 as the built in flash doesn't act as one either. But, I didn't buy the camera to use with elaborate light setups, I just need a good strong light I can bounce around and gives me full manual ant TTL and the Nissin more than covers that.
