Very good cheap flash for beginners
This is powerful, well-done flash which is suitable for all cameras with hot shoes. The only disadvantage of the flash is that it's manual, without TTL. However, it has excellent price-to-quality ratio, so if you want TTL, you have to buy something more expensive. The flash perfoms good in case of serial shots - only with the maximum power it can miss 2 or 3 shots, but I don't think it's needed very often. Moreover, flash is perfect in slave mode - you can use it as independent flash triggered by built-in camera flash, even when the built-in one is covered by something (for example, your hand) in order not to influence the photo.
By the way, I can say, that the diffusor is quite useless (so as small softbox, which I bought separately) - I guess, it is better try to use bigger studio softboxes or umbrellas. Flash stand can be mounted on tripod which is great for making simple studio lighting.
