SUNPAKï¼ãµã³ããã¯
Well not the largest nor most pretty flash in the world, but its function and diverse.
Early user views;
1) It has manual power options of full power, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16 and 1/32 as well as 3 auto flash firing modes.
2) It will fire without a cord with a preflash synch and also with a no preflash mode (this second mode appears to work fine with a static subject for lighting, not sure if a fast moving subject would give different results). I tested mine and it worked well with both the camera popup and the 580M2. Also note the flash will fire from a hotshoe as well.
I have not tested if it will fire from a slave hotshoe off the 580M2 (not got one) but I assume that it will
3) Its very light both with and without batteries (2AAA) which is a great plus for my chosen use of this flash (macro work).
4) Whilst it has a built in wide angle panel (plastic basically) it does need some diffusion to break the light up from its smaller flash head - though lighting given is gernerally quite pleasing.
Overall this is quite a functionals flash offering both auto and manual controls as well as the abilty to work easily in a multiflash setup without needing additional setup gear. I hope to get some test work done with the flash at some point (going on holls soon so not much playtime at the moment) and for macro work I expect to need to make some form of diffusion cover for the flash to help break the lighting up further
