Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Vivitar 285HV Auto Professional Flash
Customer Review: The best flash if you're on a budget
Summary: 4 Stars
This flash is a good value. For less than $100, you get 4 levels of manual power, 3 levels of autoexposure (which do work well) a tilt-zoom head, a pc sync socket, and relatively fast recycle times. I would love to see this flash with a swivel head.(that's why only 4 stars)
It looks a little boxy compared to the canon and nikon flashes, but the light looks just as good! If you need TTL you're going to have to pay for it. If you shoot in manual mode, this flash will give you control and consistency.
Over all I am very pleased with this flash, in fact, I just bought another one!
