5 out of 5 stars Good for SLR, not for DSLR   June 11, 2008
I have had great success with this flash with my film based Pentax MX SLR, and would reccomend it to film SLR users. When I have tried using it on my Canon 40D, I have found it to be more trouble then it is worth. I would reccomend buying a Speedlite instead if you have a camera the supports E-TTL, E-TTL II, or TTL, or if your camera has a autofocus system that is compatable with the AF assist feature on speedlites. For treditional SLR cameras without new autofocus systems, however, this flash works great.

Guess what? Some of us still own and use film cameras, often with expensive lenses that outperform our digital snap-shot cameras. Well, if the original strobe is blown out, or gives up the ghost -- Vivitar still makes and Amazon still sells this excellent and versitile and inexpensive electronic flash. My old Vivitar gave, and this new one has stepped right in. Hate tha red-eye? Just tilt it up for ceiling bounce, no shadows, no red-eye, just open up a stop.

I had this same flash attachment for about 30 years and loved it. The old flash died and I had to look for a new one never guessing that I could still buy the same flash,good things never go out of style. I hope I get 30 years out of this one. I have sold many of my pictures many take with this flash, I am not a professional, but love the extra money. I would recommend this flash to everyone, I sometimes use it with my digital camera, but I like it best with film.


2 out of 5 stars Auto shut off maddening   May 23, 2005

Don't buy this, get a 283/285HV instead. It powers down after 5mins, when you're least expecting it. I've missed so many shots because the flash was not ready when I was. Poor design feature which cannot be overridden.

I purchased the Vivitar Auto flash when i ordered my camera last year. It is a great accessory! My pictures come out very clear indoor and at night. I love it!
