Alrighty then, got this in the post yesterday, and for 30 odd, im pleasantly surprised.
Admittedly this is my first flashgun ever, and, bought it because the popup does the usual "haha i washed everything out thats near, and now you cant see whats behind that because its do freaking dark"
Calm...
Anyway, predictably, it feels plasticity, but its not a bad thing, it feels reasonably strong, while it still feels pretty light weight.
The AF light, is down right pathetic, and, you dont actually see it through the viewfinder, as its probably not lined up properly
It does do a good job of warning people they are about to have a flash go off in their face
Now, somthing that worries me a bit is the hot shoe mount.
Basicly, its plastic, thin, and feels like its made from the same stuff as the hot shoe cover that came with your camera. And, i reckon if i bashed the flash hard enough, it would rip clean off
Second worry is the battery door, there's a bit of a knack to opening it, dont force it, as again, you'd probably snap it off, as the hinge is cheap plastic.
Wouldnt want to have to change this things batteries when time is tight :shake:
Zoom is a manual affair with 85/50/35/28 stops on the sliding head
As far as settings go, you've got on, off, and a test button
No LCD, dosent need one. Test button is to easily pressed when taking the flash off the camera, as my retina found out the hard way
Well that was a bit longer than planned, but, hope it helps
which is really annoying me at the moment.
