Digital Camera Reviews Choice
Opteka EF-600 DG Super EO-TTL II Speed Blitz Flash seems to get good reviews….good budget choice?
Yes, I realize the 430EX is the Gold Standard here, but the Amazon reviews are encouraging:
http://www.amazon.com/Opteka-EF-600-EO-TTL-Digital-Camera/dp/B001GD3Z02/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=photo&qid=1264477909&sr=1-1
At 99 bucks, it seems to have the same functionality as the 430EX (‘cept it seems, by reports, to have issues as a slave flash, which I wouldnt need it for)
Point is, for the budget minded fella who doesnt shudder at the thought of non OEM eqpt in his bag, ;-D, is this flash for real? Again, the reviews dont seem to harsh. 99 bucks is quite inexpensive. Anyone experienced with this flash?
Even for an off brand, Opteka would not be my first choice. Trouble is, there are so many units being sold under multiple names now… hard to tell what else it might be called.
I’d try it… for less than half the cost of a 430, it would be worth it. Another one that is probably the same flash with a different name is the Nissin Di622.
Another one to look at would be a Vivitar DF-383, comes in at $130.
Of course there is the Metz 36 for Canon E-TTL at $100 also. Tilt only, manual zoom, but good stuff. Metz is not an “off brand” by any means. Their model 48 AF-1 (about $225) out 430EX’s the 430EX.
