excellent flash:
I received this flash as part of a kit. I tried out this flash with my Nikon D200 camera and found that the capabilities were all encompasing for macro shots and regular shots and allows for a lot of adjustments in between conditions. The flash display does very well for me and for those who use a camera that is compatible, then I would buy one and really enjoy yourselves.
