Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Vivitar 285HV Flash
I purchased an Olympus E510 DSLR as my first step out of non-SLR digitals. I just sooooooo missed using an SLR, I finally took the plunge and after a lot of comparisons I chose the Olympus for various outstanding reasons (although I must admit I had a hankering for Olympus all along after owning the same brand a number of times before). The pop-up flash, as only to be expected, was not always going to be up to the full game, so I looked around for an external flash. I went out with the idea of an ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - cheap and reliable
This is an awesome vintage flash for today's digital SLR's. I like that it is compatible with my Nikon D-80. The only thing I wish it had was a swivel-head. But with a hot-shoe cable for off-camera flash, it doesn't really matter.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Old School Flashes Rock

Vivitar 285HV Auto Professional Flash
This is an amazing unexpensive flash that rivals OEM dedicated equipment.
Yet it is not ETTL but just because of that it gives you a full control over what you are doing. I really like it ( as well as uncounted number of photographers in the last 30 years). I only wish it came with a power adapter.
