Customer Review

On Saturday, 22:12. Afternoon ordered, and on Monday, 24/12 morning with me. Excellent!
Now to the flash:
He is well-packed in a box along with a flash and a foot pocket. Flash looks good. The battery compartment is easy to open. Imaging for inserting the batteries is very difficult to detect. Thanks to the separation in the battery compartment, the battery remains in place when inserting.
The flash is very easy to attach to the hot shoe of the A33 and engaged immediately a whole. Minus: The flash is unstable, but still. The EF-610 but does not dissolve in the hot shoe.
The TTL settings, MH (Manual, full power) and ML (Manual 1/16 performance) can be accessed via a small switch, which also serves to activate / deactivate the unit. Here, a bit of a fingernail is a good help. The flash works as described in the relevant settings. This also applies to the "Test" button to.
At the front are built once the wide-angle diffuser (WWSS) and a so-called. Reflector foil. The WWSS they can easily be pulled out and exactly as described in the instructions is simultaneously the reflector foil to the fore. Flashing with the WWS works. Now to this reflector foil:. Gem manual shall present the flash head vertically and WWSS push back alone. Do you do but only a movement that reflector foil falls almost entirely on its own in the storage position. So the thing is worthless. The zoom can be nich completely noiseless work perfectly as the Zommanzeige via LEDs.
The flash head can be as described by pressing the release button in the respective variety of horizontal rotating vertical positions.
Irritated me the supplied accessories include a flash holder / stand anyway: Because this flash does not trigger remote possibility - no plug, no slave device - is this accessory to probably meant well exhibit the flash in a showcase. Well, if I ever buy me NEN slave flash. Positive accessories pocket.
I have done so far 250 flash shots. The flash needs now ca 10s instead of the initial 4s until after test triggering is fully charged. Since gem. Operating instructions of the battery pack must be replaced when the charging is more than 30 seconds, so I kannn few shots make ...
Conclusion: The high light output, the very simple operation and the good ausehen, the somewhat wobbly fit of the flash on the camera and the rather useless reflector foil, as well as the not particularly easy to use slide switches weigh for me as an amateur. For the serious amateur photographers and professionals of this flash can not be thought with the price-performance ratio. Nevertheless: buy recommendation
