I currently have have a Konica Minolta Maxxum 5D Digital SLR camera. It's new incarnation is the Sony alpha....but i digress. I am looking to purchase an additional flash for this camera but would like to know which flash is the most versitle for use at weddings and doing portraits? I use a Vivatar 283 pro and a friend of mine has the 284. There is little difference in them and they were in the $250-$275 price range. They can be used on the camera's hot shoe ( Mine is a Pentax DSLR), or controlled remotely from the camera's built in flash. The head has a snap in positioning
feature to "tilt" it at any one of several angles from horizontal to vertical and an auto thyrister for different din or asa ssettings. |
