Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - solid work horse with a gotcha
I started out buying more expensive Canon flashes but didn't need the E-TTL features. Based on a web review, I bought a couple of Vivitar 285HV's and used them with my existing off-camera triggering system (which consists of Elinchrom Skyport radio triggers and Wein optical hot shoe triggers). All of my existing triggers fired through the hot shoe of the flash and have worked with a variety of flashes, including older Vivitar 283 flashes.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great flash
Great flash, works well. I love all the settings. the flash isnt too hard and bright. Only con is that there is no swivel head. Which isnt a biggie.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Lighting Perfection
Took a little soldering and a little work but I have my vivitar's hard wired to my ebay triggers. This solves alot of problems. These things are BRIGHT. Really great output for a flash running on alkalines. There built like a tank. Shipping was extremely fast. I do plan on purchasing a few more in the future.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - The best flash if you're on a budget
This flash is a good value. For less than $100, you get 4 levels of manual power, 3 levels of autoexposure (which do work well) a tilt-zoom head, a pc sync socket, and relatively fast recycle times. I would love to see this flash with a swivel head.(that's why only 4 stars)
It looks a little boxy compared to the canon and nikon flashes, but the light looks just as good! If you need TTL you're going to have to pay for it. If you shoot in manual mode, this flash will give you control and consistency. ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - gets the job done
I've had this flash about a month now. I've been pretty happy with it and it does everything I need to do with an off camera flash. Great price.
