L-Sidwell
With a D90 body and kit lens this did an OK job. Its a fun toy for the price but not a serious flash. This did not take over the flash cue from my body, perhaps it does other camera bodies. Without taking the cue my pop-up flash wants to engage or I have to turn flash off completely which uses all low light auto settings - which doesnt account for the light from this flash when used. To set it up manually would be egregious. To use is as a solid fill light works great and may turn out valuable for head shots and such but the batteries wear out fairly quickly so long term it wouldnt be a good option (i.e. played for less than 5 minutes and the 4x AAs were already starting to track downward when using as a fill). Again it blinks when you take an image but it does not sync to the auto settings on a Nikon D90. Im keeping it - for the price its worth the use as a short term fill. There are design flaws as well but nothing detrimental. The adapter rings / connecting points on the light circle dont lock in place - as in they clasp onto a ring thats fixed to the lens but the ring of light is free to rotate with no resistance... with the coiled connecting cord it doesnt sit square - only an issue for Left or Right option, which I just hold it in place or anchor the connecting cord somehow.
