Backwards Hands
For a super inexpensive LED macro flash, this is alright. It lights up when its supposed to and being able to choose from all the lights on to just half is useful. If everything worked as they were supposed to, I would give this 4 stars. However, there are a few problems. First, when you press the power button, it fails to turn on. Eventually though, with enough force and yelling it turns on. To turn it off I just pop a battery out. The second problem is that the plastic lens adapter rings tend to bend and flex enough to pop off the lens threads. It is definitely easier to put on and take off by just pulling the flash off and pressing it on, but there is something to say for a solidly mounted accessory. Thirdly, the LED ring itself doesnt fit snugly on the adapter ring so the light spins freely. Not too troublesome if you use all the lights at once, but if you want to use the Left/Right Only option, this is a major problem. Putting some electrical tape on half the ring seemed to have solved the problem though. Lastly, the color of the LEDs is a little cool, and if you use the yellow ring, it is too yellow (yellow, not warm). So, when it turns on, it works as much as you would think a $30 flash would work. You get what you pay for, but when it works, it works.
