This product does not work. Bought it for my Nikon D40. Wouldn’t communicate in TTL mode. Do yourself a favor and purchase SB-600 or other first party Nikon speedlights.

I ordered it and I was pretty dissapointed in it. It was very diffucult to get the batteries to go in and I had to re-load them 10 times before I could it to work. Maybe the one I got was defective, hard to say. But it was very fustrating to get it work right out of the box. I took a few pics with it it seemed to work ok, But I had a bad 1st impression and it did feel very cheap and decided to return it immediately and exchange it for an SB-400. Not trying to switch ya to the Nikon flash but it much much more sturdier. For someone who will not use it a whole lot and is looking price as thier main buying influence this is it.

I got this flash for Christmas from my wife (a result of my own gentle prodding). I’ve had great luck with Amazon and finding great products without name brands (and accompanying price tags) slapped on them. Unfortunately this wasn’t one of those times.
The flash does cycle very fast as mentioned in the product description but that’s because the flash is so incredibly weak! I can’t overstate that fact enough. Be forewarned, this flash didn’t even fully light a room of about 16 x 12! My on-camera pop-up flash has more power than this thing. Even though its powered by 4 AA batteries the flash doesn’t deliver any pop. It does have great swivel/bounce capabilities but since the flash isn’t even close to being up for the task the bounce effects are worthless/nonexistant. The only way I could see this flash giving decent results are if you are about 3 feet away from your subject and bouncing the flash off a wall or ceiling that is also not farther than 3 feet away. I’m returning this item promptly as it fails utterly to meet my very basic needs.
