(More customer reviews)This is an inexpensive macro ring flash. Its not gaudy, has few bells and whistles but does work with the Cannon 400 (xTi) that I have.
There's some getting used to for the flash. It flatten's things as I've come to expect from a ring flasham. There don't seem to be any hot nor dull spots. Clinical colors are rendered correctly although I do mine in Rawstudio for post production anyway.
The attachment rings are ok, but only have 1/2 to 2/3 of a thread onto anything and don't really hold VERY securely The only other downside (annoying part) is that the ring and power supply are a single unit held together by the cord, making it inconvenient at best to stow anywhere. On the upside the powerpack and flash unit are quite light weight. Ive taken several 100 shots and not had to replace the batteries in the power pack (yet). My choice would be to use disposables, and as soon as these are done, I will and will let you know if that makes any difference. I can tell, as the unit works on that there is longer lag between recharge (now about 8 seconds - originally about 1.5-3 seconds).
I use the camera/flash for clinical photography and its behaved admirably. For an inexpensive addition to your armementarium, and a working e-ttl flash, I would recommend this unit.
